  • Making balanced and commercially sensible decisions while ensuring customers are treated fairly
  • Preparing clear, accurate and appropriately reasoned final response correspondence
  • Carrying out root cause analysis to understand why complaints have occurred
  • Identifying patterns and emerging themes across complaint cases
  • Using complaint data to highlight potential conduct, customer or regulatory risks
  • Sharing findings with advisers, managers and operational teams and recommending practical improvements
  • Helping improve internal procedures where investigations identify weaknesses or recurring problems
  • Providing guidance to colleagues on complaint handling, regulatory expectations and good customer outcomes

Do you have the following to apply?

  • Minimum Level 4 Diploma in Financial Planning (or equivalent)
  • A working knowledge of FCA complaint-handling requirements and regulated financial advice
  • At least two years' experience within complaints, compliance, quality assurance or a closely related position
