About the Role
- Level: 3
- Department: Complaints
- Location: Southampton/hybrid after training
- Contract Type: 6-month FTC (40 hours - Mon-Fri)
As a Complaint Investigator, you will be required to investigate all complaints within a timely manner, adhering to both internal service level agreements and regulatory timescales. The role will involve liaising with all stakeholders, financial advisers, the Financial Ombudsman Service, and other third parties. You will need excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage a variety of tasks and responsibilities as you will be dealing with multiple cases at a time. You will also need to ensure that you fully adhere to all the requirements of DISP Resolution (ref: FCA Handbook).
About You
As a Complaint Investigator, you will need to have confident communication skills on both the telephone and the ability to compile written responses which must be grammatically correct and free from any industry jargon. You will need to be confident in receiving incoming calls from our advisers, customers, and third parties, as well as making outbound calls where necessary.
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.
