About Us
The Victorian Ombudsman exists in recognition of the imbalance of power between the individual and the State, and we aim to level the playing field and protect and promote human rights.
In performing our functions under the Ombudsman Act, we oversee the actions and decisions of more than 1,000 public bodies to ensure fairness and integrity. We aim to:
- provide a timely, efficient, effective, flexible and independent means of resolving complaints
- identify, investigate, expose and prevent maladministration and improper conduct
- assist public bodies to improve the quality of their administration and complaint handling
- educate the community and public sector about our work, and their rights and responsibilities.
About the Role
The successful candidate will be working within the Complaints area of the Victorian Ombudsman handling complaints from members of the public.
The Complaints area handles complaints about a range of public sector bodies and Local Government. Complaints Resolution Officers play a critical role in taking, assessing and resolving complaints about public sector bodies, and identifying systemic issues. Complaints resolution officers manage a caseload of written, verbal and in-person complaints, working towards fair, timely and proportionate outcomes for all parties, and assisting the Victorian Ombudsman to identify systemic issues for action.
This role requires strong analytical skills, sound judgement, and the ability to engage sensitively with people from diverse backgrounds, including those from communities facing marginalisation or with complex communication needs. Complaint Resolution Officers are supported by Senior Complaints Officers for escalated, complex matters or coaching and report to a Manager.
Core to success in the role is the demonstration of modern-day complaint handling skills. This requires a professional attitude, a resilient nature, the ability to interpret legislation and develop a deep understanding of the Ombudsman Act 1973 (Vic) (the Act).
You will use your interpersonal skills and knowledge of the Act, Victorian Ombudsman policies and the public sector to help determine the appropriate response to complaints.
