Domestic Considerations: Remote working is supported and enabled with appropriate IT, however the post holder may be required to work in the office for three days each week, depending on workflow. 

 

The postholder should be aware of the following:

-The requirement for absolute discretion as the incumbent will handle daily, confidential personal information of a highly sensitive nature.

- Attention to detail and the requirement for accuracy in their work as mistakes can have a disproportionate effect elsewhere in the Service Complaint process.

- Compassionate understanding of the nature of the work and the impact of undue delay.

This opportunity is closed to applications.
