- Prioritise complaints and support investigations into serious cases being carried out by Senior Complaints and Investigations Officers.
- Lead investigations into medium priority cases, manage relationships with complainants and public authorities, identifying and making recommendations on appropriate remedies.
- Provide excellent customer service to members of the public who have submitted complaints, providing timely updates, managing expectations, and signposting complaints to the relevant public authority where appropriate.
- Work with the legal team and other specialist teams as necessary to inform complaints triage and assessment.
- Ensure the complaints case management system is kept up to date with all correspondence on complaints and cases they are handling.
- Prepare operational reports on the complaints function for the SEO Senior Complaints Officer and G7 Complaints Manager.
- Display flexibility to assist with wider OEP project work where necessary, in support of the OEP’s mission to protect and improve the natural environment.
