Job summary
To help transform our Consumer Relations Team into a Centre of Excellence in Consumer Complaint Handling for Water customers we are looking to recruit a front-facing, high volume, fast-paced, operational team to handle incoming telephone complaints and enquiries.
The Team will work to resolve all manner of enquiries and complaints at the point of contact.
In the last 12 months CCW has received over 12,000 contacts (telephone and written) from water customers who have been unable to resolve their issues directly with their water company.
We are looking for motivated and dedicated customer friendly people to join the team to play an important role to ensure that CCW provides a professional and empathetic response to customers, providing front line advice and information to resolve their issues.
About the Role
You will be working as part of the Consumer Relations Team. Your main responsibility is to answer all incoming calls in a professional manner; direct customers to their water company in the event they have not previously made contact with them directly; provide on the spot advice and complaint resolution; send information to customers in response to enquiries; and set up and maintain enquiry and complaint records.
Telephone calls are varied and unpredictable in nature. Calls are received from residential and business customers. Calls range from customers seeking contact details for their own water company; advice and information on billing and charges, and support to resolve more complex operational matters such as sewer flooding. You will need to be empathic in your approach, especially because of the impact the cost of living crisis is having on many people.
