Provide clear and accurate advice (both verbally and in writing) on issues, recommendations and solutions to complaints while delivering on the Ombudsman's commitment to high quality service.
To succeed in this role, you will need demonstrated experience in complaint handling in a high-volume, resolution focused environment, handling phone calls in a fast-paced setting, and making key decisions (ideally in a highly regulated environment), have well developed organisational skills including the ability to manage competing priorities while delivering a very high standard of work.
