Complaint Handler

You will be responsible for managing the end-to-end complaints process, from initial investigation through to final response, while maintaining compliance with FCA, DISP, and other relevant regulatory frameworks.
What you’ll do:
Investigate and Respond to Client Complaints:
- Manage end-to-end client complaints, acting as the primary point of contact throughout the process
- Conduct thorough investigations by gathering and analysing evidence, reviewing client interactions, and liaising with internal teams
- Communicate with clients in a clear, empathetic, and professional manner, keeping them informed of progress
- Produce high-quality Final Response Letters (FRLs), clearly outlining decisions and any remedial actions
- Ensure all complaints are handled in line with FCA, DISP, and other regulatory requirements
- Maintain accurate and comprehensive records for all cases
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
