Customer Relationship Officer

Turn resident feedback into meaningful action and ensure every voice in Adult Social Care is heard

As our Customer Engagement Officer, you’ll play a central role in driving service improvements across Adult Social Care. It’s a role with genuine, council-wide impact, a chance to listen to our residents, turn their feedback into positive change and ensure our services continuously evolve to meet community needs.

What you’ll be doing

Your focus will be managing resident feedback from receipt right through to resolution, handling statutory complaints, Member and MP enquiries, Freedom of Information requests, Subject Access Requests and compliments. You’ll communicate sensitively with residents and their representatives, offering clarity and practical advice while ensuring all correspondence is handled confidentially, objectively and within strict statutory timescales.

Beyond case management, you will actively drive service improvement across Adult Social Care. You’ll analyse feedback trends, support Ombudsman investigations and share key learnings back with operational teams and senior leaders.

Collaborating closely with colleagues across social care, quality assurance and legal services, you will help turn insights into practical recommendations that raise overall service standards and improve resident outcomes.

What you’ll bring

You’ll bring hands-on experience in customer feedback, complex complaint resolution or case management within a regulated setting. You have a strong understanding of social care legislation and statutory complaints procedures, including the Care Act 2014, General Data Protection Regulation and Freedom of Information rules.

You’re an excellent communicator – someone who can draft clear, empathetic and evidence-based responses under pressure, adapting your communication style to suit sensitive situations. You bring outstanding organisational skills and resilience in fast-paced environments, alongside a collaborative approach to solving complex problems.

Most importantly, you’re someone who acts with integrity and fairness, with a genuine commitment to ensuring resident voices directly shape and improve our services.
