An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the complaints team at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust as a Complaints Lead. We are looking for an experienced and self-motivated individual to work full-time within our dedicated team.
The successful applicant will be able to deal confidently and compassionately with a wide range of service users, including the public, advocates, other agencies and staff within the organisation at all levels, and provide expert advice to staff and the public alike. Given the nature of the work, the ability to effectively manage challenging situations and behaviours is crucial, along with a high level of resilience and emotional intelligence.
The successful applicant will manage a case load of complaints ensuring that complainants are kept up to date and that complaints are investigated and responded to within local performance target timeframes.
As a Complaints Lead you will be required to work independently managing your own caseload. You will need an enquiring mind and excellent analytical and report writing skills. Attention to detail and proof-reading skills are also essential.
