The Vacancy

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic person to take on The Barnet Groups Complaints and Information Manager role. This is an essential and high-profile role. We are looking for a highly motivated person with initiative and the ability to work flexibly in a dynamic environment. It is an interesting and sometimes challenging role and is certainly never dull!

This role does not typically require you to investigate and respond directly to complaints and members enquiries yourself, although you will provide support and advice to colleagues across the business who do.

Reporting to the Director of Strategy, you will help to shape and influence our culture of providing excellent customer service, both to external and internal customers, with a focus on all areas of our diverse business, including social housing and adult social care. You will work closely and build relationships with colleagues, customers, and stakeholders in your role providing a comprehensive complaints and information requests service, including coordinating Freedom of Information, Subject Access Requests, and Members Enquiries. You will manage our team of Complaints and Information Officers, providing leadership and coaching to ensure and maintain high performance and standards within the team.

In this role you will play a significant part in helping to further the reputation of The Barnet Group. The nature of the role means that your profile will be raised as you work closely with senior officers and other colleagues at The Barnet Group and Barnet Council, as well as important stakeholders including local councillors and MPs and their case workers.

You will be at the forefront of identifying trends and potential areas for improvement and will personally make a tangible difference to our customers by supporting, advising, and advocating on their behalf. A successful candidate with the appetite and ambition to do so will have the potential to be innovative and to influence across all of our operations.

It is a fantastic opportunity to take on a role in which you will build your knowledge of all The Barnet Groups diverse business, have great exposure as you continue your housing career, and feel personal satisfaction and accomplishment as you help to build relationships with customers and improve the outcomes they experience.

We are looking for someone with the right attitude and commitment who will help us to achieve our vision of our customers being our biggest advocates. To excel in this exciting role, you will be able to demonstrate a passion for excellent customer service, and be motivated, proactive, and professional. You will have the necessary strong interpersonal, organisation, and communication skills to be able to balance varied tasks across a diverse workload. We are looking for someone who is experienced in customer service, information rights, and complaints handling, and has performed a leadership role in these areas with great success previously.

In return, we can offer you the opportunity to join a friendly and enthusiastic team that is passionate about making a difference through our work.

You will have a high degree of independence and must be able to prioritise your own workload while working with different stakeholders to advise and support them with their needs. You will benefit from experience of working with internal and external stakeholders to address problems through learning from complaints and other enquiries.

You will be a strong collaborator and able to work flexibly with colleagues across the organisation to deliver on our priorities and ensure a seamless and consistent service is received by all our customers.
