The Financial Ombudsman Service is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that plays a vital role in UK financial services. Every day we help resolve disputes between consumers, or small businesses, and their financial service providers.

The complaints we deal with vary. A customer might be having trouble with their bank account, struggling with payday loans, think an insurance payout isn’t fair, or be worried about their mortgage.

If we believe a customer hasn’t been treated fairly, we’ll ask the business to put things right. If we think the business isn’t at fault, we’ll explain why. The decisions we make have a huge impact: they can be life-changing for individuals, and they provide insights which are useful for financial businesses.

By joining us as an Investigator, you’ll play a key role specifically in Banking products. Each case and each customer are different. No two days are ever the same and sometimes the work is challenging. But it’s a job that makes a real difference and you’ll be rewarded with generous benefits as well as job satisfaction.

Key responsibilities
- As an Investigator new to the role, you’ll_ spend up to six months in our academy getting the training you need to make fair and reasonable decisions confidently. After that, you’ll work as part of a team, supported by an Ombudsman Manager, managing your own caseload and prioritising your work.

You’ll be responsible for:
- Investigating complaints about banking products- Managing your caseload effectively to reach targets- Managing relationships with our customers - both consumers and financial businesses- Examining evidence to get to the heart of each complaint- Weighing up all sides of a story and assessing the relevant rules and regulations to make fair and reasonable decisions- Communicating with empathy - listening carefully to both sides, asking the right questions and using sound judgement, and- Communicating your findings clearly, explaining what you think and why through a clear and structured written response

Person specification

You’ll be a self-starter who can prioritise tasks and work well independently. You’ll have great people skills and an analytical, problem-solving mind.

You may have experience in customer services, sales or retail, in a legal/paralegal role, or have worked in casework, claims or investigative work for another public agency.

Essential Criteria- Demonstrable experience working in Banking related products- Experience making fair and balanced decisions, where you must articulate your thinking clearly- Excellent communication skills, including a talent for listening and explaining things in clear language as well as good written English- Experience providing excellent customer service with people who may be angry or upset- Problem solving and finding constructive solutions- Strong administrative skills and the ability to prioritise your workload- Experience of working to meet targets or service level agreements

Desirable Criteria- Knowledge of financial products- Relevant qualifications within banking- Experience in decision making or analytical roles for example, legal, paralegal, casework or claims
- Why the Financial Ombudsman Service?_
