About the Role

Help frontline teams deliver professional, timely and consistent customer outcomes. Reporting to the Customer Experience Lead, you will lead day-to-day Customer Contact Centre and CORE activities, including complaints, Ombudsman enquiries and customer compensation.

You will coach team members, coordinate workload and monitor quality across internal and BPO delivery. You will work with Operations, Billing, Legal, retailers and dispute resolution bodies; this role does not own the separate Customer Support function. The role offers a hybrid arrangement, with three days per week in the office.

Key Responsibilities

- Improve first-contact resolution, simplify processes and maintain compliant service hand-offs.

About You

You bring at least five years’ experience in utilities, energy, metering or operational services, plus relevant contact centre, complaints, case-management or service-operations experience. You have led daily work, coached colleagues and handled escalated customer matters against quality and compliance expectations.

Experience in utilities, energy, metering services or BPO operations would be highly regarded. You communicate calmly in sensitive situations, organise competing priorities and use operational data to identify gaps. Working knowledge of CRM, case-management, contact centre and Microsoft Office tools is required. Ombudsman, external dispute resolution and compensation knowledge is desirable, as is a relevant qualification or equivalent practical experience.

Why Apply?

Make a direct difference to customers and the people supporting them. Combine practical team leadership with the opportunity to improve difficult customer journeys, strengthen service consistency and translate feedback into action.
