Your new role
The Complaints Team is a hardworking and lively environment which will equip you with skills that could take you anywhere across the Castle Water business. You can expect to be part of a collegial and supportive team, with a strong emphasis on knowledge-sharing, continuous learning, mutual respect, and personal development.

This role is a post for someone with confidence and initiative as well as the maturity required to take responsibility and make decisions and be confident of your own abilities and potential. On a day-to-day basis, you will utilise internal systems to record and then investigate complaints. You will look to resolve swiftly and effectively, suggesting remedial actions, always with a customer-first mindset.

You must have strong communication skills, be able to liaise with customers, wholesalers, staff, colleagues, and the regulator. Dealing with customers, you must be able to blend approachability with a clear, confident and measured response. Responding to complaints via email will also require excellent written skills and attention to detail.
