Customer Experience Team Leader
Salary: Circa £35,000
Hours: 37 hours per week
Location: Worthing
Contract type: Permanent
We want to be a brilliant landlord and we are looking for a brilliant Customer Experience Team Leader who is passionate about developing people, driving performance and delivering services that genuinely make a difference to customers' lives.
This is a key role within our Customer Experience Team, where you'll spend a significant proportion of your time coaching, managing and developing the team to consistently deliver excellent customer outcomes.
Worthing Homes is a forward-looking housing association, providing affordable, high-quality homes and services to over 10,000 residents across Worthing. We're a small, ambitious organisation with a strong community focus, and we're at an exciting stage of transformation as we continue to innovate and improve how we serve our customers.
About The Role
As Customer Experience Team Leader, you will support the Customer Experience Manager to lead, motivate and develop a high-performing team, delivering a professional, responsive and compassionate service at the first point of contact.
A central focus of this role is people leadership and performance development. You will spend a significant proportion of your time coaching and developing team members through regular one-to-ones, call listening, feedback and structured development plans. Alongside this, you will actively manage performance by setting clear expectations and addressing both capability and conduct where required, helping to build a positive, accountable and customer-focused team culture.
You will also carry out quality assurance of customer calls and written responses to ensure consistency, accuracy and compliance with agreed standards. Using these insights alongside performance data, you will identify trends, risks and opportunities, providing clear recommendations to improve service delivery, customer satisfaction, operational efficiency and first contact resolution.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
As well as leading the team you will also spend a proportion of your week on the phones and responding to email and portal queries to resolve complex enquiries and complaints. You will act as a key escalation point for the team, while leading by example through maintaining a visible presence and contributing to customer contact when needed.
About You
You will be a positive, people-focused role model with a strong customer focus and a genuine passion for coaching, developing others and driving high performance. You will have the ability to inspire and support your team to deliver excellent service, creating an environment where individuals feel motivated, confident and able to succeed.
You will bring proven experience of working in a customer service environment, with a strong track record of managing complex customer issues, problem-solving effectively and making sound decisions in a fast-paced setting with changing priorities. You will be experienced and confident in leading coaching and development conversations, using regular feedback, call listening and structured support to build capability, supported by excellent communication skills in every interaction.
You will also have experience in quality assurance, using feedback and insights alongside data to identify trends, drive service improvements, and support informed decision-making. You will be confident using customer systems to monitor performance and embed continuous improvement across the team.
Comfortable working collaboratively across teams, you will be able to balance competing demands, deliver results under pressure and maintain a strong focus on achieving positive customer outcomes.
Ideally, you will have experience delivering services across multiple customer contact channels, along with knowledge of the housing sector or a similar customer-focused organisation, and an understanding of repairs and maintenance services.
