Our Vacancy

We’re looking for an exceptional Head of Customer Resolution to provide strategic leadership, performance oversight and operational excellence across Peabody’s regional resolution services. This is a highly influential senior role, responsible for ensuring that resident concerns, complaints, Member enquiries and executive correspondence are resolved fairly, consistently and in full alignment with statutory and regulatory obligations. 

Operating at the centre of regional service delivery, you’ll be a visible and authoritative leader, shaping how we handle cases, manage risk, and drive system-wide improvements. Working closely with Managing Directors, Assistant Directors and senior stakeholders, you’ll ensure that resolution activity not only meets demand but actively improves the resident experience, reduces failure demand and strengthens organisational trust.

• Close collaboration with MDs and ADs to address systemic service failures and drive improved resident outcomes.

• Use casework and complaint insight to shape regional and organisational service strategies. 

• Ensure full compliance with the Housing Ombudsman Complaint Handling Code.

• Provide governance, assurance and oversight across all regional resolution activity.

• Identify risks, patterns and improvements to reduce repeat complaints and failure demand. 

• Embed lessons from complaints, Ombudsman decisions and Member feedback into operational delivery.

• Partner with insight functions to translate casework data into improvement activity.

• Drive a culture of accountability, performance and resident-focused service excellence.

What You’ll Need 

• Significant senior leadership experience in complaints, customer resolution or casework services at scale.

• Proven success leading managers and geographically dispersed teams.

• Strong regulatory and governance understanding, particularly around complaints and Ombudsman frameworks.

• Experience managing high-risk, high-profile or politically sensitive cases.

• Excellent judgement, decision-making and stakeholder management skills.

• High level of data literacy, with the ability to use insight to drive action.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
