Help us make sure our tenants’ voices genuinely shape what we do.
At Alpha Living, we believe great housing services start with listening. We’re looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Customer Experience Manager who can help us turn tenant voice, customer insight, complaints and feedback into meaningful action and better services. This is an exciting opportunity to lead our approach to tenant engagement and influence, customer insight, complaints and safeguarding, while helping us go beyond simply meeting regulatory requirements. You’ll make sure our tenants have meaningful opportunities to influence decisions, challenge us, scrutinise our services and help shape our priorities. Just as importantly, you’ll help us demonstrate the difference their involvement makes.
What will you be doing?
Reporting to our Director of Operations and leading our Customer Experience Team, you’ll have a varied and influential role.
You will:
- Lead the implementation and continuous development of our Tenant Engagement and Influence Strategy, creating meaningful opportunities for tenants to shape strategic and operational decisions.
- Develop tenant scrutiny, forums and consultation activities that give tenants a genuine voice and enable them to challenge and influence our services.
- Act as Alpha Living’s Complaints Officer, ensuring our approach reflects the Housing Ombudsman’s Complaint Handling Code and, importantly, that we learn from complaints and use that learning to improve.
- Lead our approach to Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) and bring together complaints, engagement, consultation and performance information to give us a clearer picture of the tenant experience.
- Support our compliance with the Regulator of Social Housing’s Consumer Standards, particularly the Transparency, Influence and Accountability Standard.
- Help us meet our transparency and information responsibilities, making performance information accessible and showing tenants clearly how their feedback has influenced decisions.
- Lead and develop our approach to safeguarding, supporting colleagues to recognise concerns, respond appropriately and contribute to a positive safeguarding culture.
- Make sure engagement is accessible and inclusive, including proactively reaching people and communities whose voices may be less frequently heard.
- Lead, coach and develop the Customer Experience Team, creating a culture of empathy, accountability, learning and continuous improvement.
- Work collaboratively across Alpha Living so that tenant engagement and customer insight become part of how we design, deliver and improve our services.
What are we looking for?
You’ll understand that excellent customer experience is about much more than dealing with an issue well when something goes wrong. It is about listening, learning and making sure people can see that their voice matters. We’re looking for someone who can combine strong relationship-building skills with sound judgement, leadership and an understanding of social housing.
You’ll bring:
- Considerable experience of working within social housing and a good understanding of housing legislation, regulation and practice.
- Experience of delivering excellent customer service and using feedback and insight to improve services.
- Strong leadership skills and the ability to coach, support and develop others.
- The ability to analyse information, identify themes and turn insight into practical improvements.
- Confidence in communicating complex or sensitive information clearly and appropriately to different audiences.
- Strong organisational skills, with the ability to plan, prioritise and use your initiative.
- A genuine commitment to equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging.
- The ability to build positive working relationships with tenants, colleagues, senior leaders, Board members and external partners.
The successful candidate must hold, or be willing to work towards, a CIH Level 4 qualification in Housing. You will also need to meet the other requirements of the role, including a satisfactory DBS check and the mobility requirements set out for the post.
