Summary

Be the reason a customer feels heard.

Every complaint has a person behind it. Be the one who makes the difference.

A2Dominion, we know that when something goes wrong, what matters most is how we respond. A customer who feels listened to, kept informed and treated fairly is far more likely to regain confidence in us. That's where you come in.

We're looking for a

Complaints Escalation Caseworker to take ownership of Stage 2 complaints, giving customers the reassurance that their concerns have been reviewed independently, thoroughly and fairly. You'll investigate concerns thoroughly, work alongside colleagues across the organisation and deliver fair, balanced outcomes that help customers feel heard, understood and respected.

When a customer remains dissatisfied after receiving their Stage 1 response, you'll have the opportunity to take a fresh look at their experience, investigate their concerns and work with colleagues across the organisation to identify the right outcome.

This is more than complaint handling. It's about restoring confidence, rebuilding trust and helping resolve issues before they progress further, helping us deliver a better experience for every customer.

If you're naturally curious, thrive on solving problems and have a talent for turning challenging situations into positive outcomes, we'd love to hear from you.

A basic DBS check is required for this role.
