Be the reason a customer feels heard.Every complaint has a person behind it. Be the one who makes the difference.

At 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.

Please refer to the attached Role Profile for full responsibilities and deliverables.

Why this role matters

When a complaint reaches Stage 2, customers need confidence that their concerns are being looked at independently, thoroughly and fairly.

As a Complaints Escalation Caseworker, you'll be the person who:

• Listens when customers feel their issue hasn't yet been resolved
• Takes ownership of complex issues from start to finish
• Works across teams to get to the root cause

What you'll be doing

You'll manage a caseload of Stage 2 complaints, leading investigations and ensuring customers receive timely, professional and customer-focused outcomes.

Working with colleagues across the organisation, you'll gather evidence, review previous actions and explore opportunities to resolve concerns wherever possible, challenge constructively where appropriate and uncover the facts behind each case. You'll balance empathy with objectivity, always striving to achieve a fair outcome and avoid unnecessary escalation.

Key responsibilities include:

• Taking ownership of Stage 2 complaints through to resolution
• Conducting detailed investigations and reviewing evidence from multiple sources
• Producing clear, balanced and high-quality response letters

• Maintaining accurate records and case management information
• Identifying recurring themes, lessons learned and opportunities for service improvement
• Supporting a culture of continuous improvement through insight and feedback

What we're looking for

We're seeking someone who combines excellent investigation skills with genuine care for the customer experience.

You'll be confident dealing with complex situations, analysing information from multiple sources and making fair, evidence-based decisions. Most importantly, you'll understand the difference that clear communication, ownership and empathy can make.

You'll bring:

• Experience handling complex complaints in a regulated environment
• A track record of investigating cases from initial review through to outcome
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent written communication skills, capable of producing detailed and professional correspondence
• The ability to assess evidence, weigh differing viewpoints and make balanced decisions
• Confidence influencing and building relationships with stakeholders at all levels
• Resilience and professionalism when managing sensitive or challenging situations
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office and case management or CRM systems

Experience in social housing, local government, customer services or another regulated sector would be advantageous.

What you'll achieve

This role offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact every day. You'll play a vital role in helping customers feel heard at a crucial stage of the complaints process.

You'll help customers reach resolution when they need it most, influence positive change across the organisation and contribute directly to improving services for thousands of residents.
