The post holder will be required to receive, interpret and communicate what can sometimes be highly emotive and complex information and this will be done with sensitivity and professionalism.

Promote conciliation as part of local resolution, providing support and advice to independent conciliators and clinical advisers and complainants. Arrange conciliation meetings and hearings as appropriate and prepare case papers as required, including clinical records.

Advise complainants, staff and practitioners of their statutory rights regarding complaints, interpreting guidance and regulations in a clear, concise and helpful manner. Provide appropriate oral responses to complainants, practitioners and other individuals requiring information about the NHS complaints procedure. Provide help and advice about how to complain and where to obtain independent support. Maintain existing network arrangements with colleagues in other areas.
