Complaint Handler jobs in Scotland

Complaints Advisor (Back Office)

Location: Glasgow (Office based)

Hours: Monday to Friday (40 hours)

Salary: £27,976 per year, Permanent, Full-time

Experience: 12 months' back office complaints experience in a contact centre is essential.

The role

You will handle complex complaints for a major UK energy provider, by phone and email, from first contact through to resolution.

This is not scripted call handling. Cases come to you because they are complicated, the customer is already frustrated, and the resolution needs judgement. Your job is to get to the root of the problem, put it right within the deadlines, and stop it escalating any further.

Day to day you will:

• Own complex complaints end to end, working to strict regulatory timescales
• Investigate across multiple systems to establish what actually went wrong
• Build rapport quickly with customers who are upset, vulnerable or under financial pressure
• Agree resolutions that hold, so the case does not come back
• Hit quality and resolution targets without cutting corners on the customer outcome

What you need

Essential

• Twelve months' back office complaints experience within a contact centre
• Strong written and verbal communication, and the listening skills to spot what the customer has not said
• Confidence moving between different computer systems
• The resilience to handle difficult conversations and the willingness to learn from feedback

Desirable

• Knowledge of the UK energy market
• Experience of regulated complaints handling or Ombudsman referrals
