About the Role
Are you a natural leader with a passion for delivering outstanding customer service? We’re seeking a Customer Care & Quality Specialist Team Leader with demonstrable experience managing new home defects within a large House Builder or Housing Association. You'll guide and develop a team of Customer Care and Quality Executives to ensure that every customer receives the best service throughout reporting and rectification of their new home defects. In this operational role, you’ll play a crucial part in helping us achieve our mission: ensuring that any defects in our customers' new homes are resolved promptly and handled with care, professionalism, and empathy.
You’ll be at the heart of our customer care operation, supervising the team's day-to-day performance, ensuring that processes are followed, and maintaining consistently high service levels. You’ll monitor and enhance the use of our CRM system, using your existing knowledge, and ensure that objectives related to productivity and turnaround times are met. This role is not just about oversight; it's about leading by example, motivating your team, and empowering them to take pride and ownership in their work.
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.
