We are looking for a Housing Customer Experience Manager to develop and improve the way we interact with our tenants across Wiltshire. With over 5,300 homes and a £31m rental turnover, our Housing Management Service plays a crucial role in ensuring tenant satisfaction, and this role is central to shaping how residents experience our services.

You will oversee all resident interactions, strengthen engagement and lead our Resident Engagement Team, using feedback and ‘mystery shopper’ exercises to drive continuous improvement.

We are seeking a proactive, empathetic and solution‑focused individual with significant experience of working in a similar role within a social housing landlord service. You will bring expert knowledge of the issues currently affecting social housing providers, alongside a strong understanding of relevant policies, legislation and the regulatory expectations set by the Regulator of Social Housing.

Your work will support improved resident communications, effective handling of feedback and consistent compliance with Consumer Standards, making a direct and positive impact on tenant wellbeing and the reputation of the service.

In return, you will have the opportunity to influence service delivery, contribute to policy development and help shape how we respond to the needs of our tenants. This is a role where your insight and leadership will make a lasting difference to residents' lives.

If you have experience in social housing, a passion for customer experience and the drive to create meaningful change, we’d love to hear from you.

Why us? Wiltshire Council is a friendly, welcoming place to work, with a 'One Council' ethos. That’s why we focus on getting the things that matter to our people right.
