Job Introduction
Are you looking for a fulfilling and rewarding career opportunity working for one of London's biggest housing associations, Notting Hill Genesis?
Are you passionate about delivering an excellent service and making a meaningful difference to the experience of Londoners?
NHG is offering an exciting position as an Aftercare Officer within our newly created Customer Care function. This isnt a typical aftercare role, and we aren’t looking for a typical applicant. You’ll be working with a group of people tasked with innovating to do things differently for those living in our new homes, delivering customer-centred outcomes whilst supporting our operational colleagues to excel in their day-to-day work.
You’ll be part of the Placemaking Strategy & New Homes structure whose involvement spans the entire new-build project lifecycle, ensuring that our new homes and places are located, designed, finished and maintained with our communities & customers in mind. Your position in this broader structure will give you excellent insight into construction, project management, property management & placemaking, and we will support you to convert that new knowledge into future career opportunities within the Housing sector.
This Aftercare Officer role is new to NHG, and you’ll be expected to make it your own. Your primary purpose will be to work on our large new mixed-tenure developments to build strong relations, triage quality issues, educate stakeholders and support a process of continuous improvements.
You’ll spend most of your time working with colleagues to make certain that we are providing high quality information at move-in, or with residents ensuring that quality concerns get resolved quickly & efficiently. You will be trusted to make interventions when things go wrong, and will have authority to spend money (where appropriate) to ensure we are meeting customer expectations. In return, you’ll need to be proactive, resourceful, and able to learn quickly from your experiences.
Success in this role looks like an improved customer experience, a more proactive approach to managing customer concerns and a meaningful contribution to our continuous improvement initiatives.
We believe great service starts with great people, and we are committed to recruiting and developing passionate, enthusiastic, and talented individuals who can add value to our thriving organisation.
You will have an unwavering commitment to the customer, will be energetic and highly motivated and take a flexible approach to your work. You’ll need to believe wholeheartedly in the benefits of taking a human-centred approach to your work, and you’ll need to be comfortable challenging the status quo where you see opportunity for improvement.
Essential:
- An engaging, concise, and confident communication style
- A proactive, can-do attitude toward problem solving, and a willingness to go ‘above and beyond’ to deliver a positive outcome.
- The ability to learn quickly & prioritise effectively.
- A willingness to be predominantly site / office based
Desirable:
- Experience in a customer-facing role
- A willingness to advance your knowledge and career here at NHG
- Excellent annual leave allowance and flexible working opportunities (qualifying period may apply)
- Generous pension scheme
- Enhanced maternity, paternity, and adoption pay in addition to statutory entitlements (qualifying period may apply)
