The posting

Senior Complaint Handler

Customer Relations & Customer Experience Preston Be the Expert. Champion Fair Outcomes. Influence Positive Change.

Every complaint tells a story.

Sometimes it's a customer who feels let down. Sometimes it's an opportunity to put things right. And sometimes, it shines a light on how we can improve as a business.

We're looking for an experienced Senior Complaint Handler to join our Customer Relations team and help us deliver fair, balanced and customer-focused outcomes across complex insurance complaints.

This is more than a complaint handling role. You'll be a trusted technical specialist, supporting colleagues, driving quality standards and helping the business learn from customer feedback. Working at the heart of our customer experience function, you'll play a key role in ensuring we meet the highest standards of regulatory compliance whilst always doing the right thing for our customers.

If you're passionate about customer advocacy, regulatory excellence and making a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
