Looking for your next step in customer experience?
If you’re passionate about helping customers, enjoy solving problems and have experience handling complaints, we’d love to hear from you.
We’re looking for a professional and organised First Line Complaints Handler who can build trust, investigate concerns fairly and deliver positive outcomes for our customers. You’ll play an important role in protecting our brand, improving customer experiences and helping us continue to provide the high standards of service we’re known for.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing business where your communication skills, attention to detail and ability to make a difference will be valued. You’ll have the support, tools and environment to develop your skills while being part of a team that genuinely cares about doing the right thing for customers.
A Bit About the Role
As a First Line Complaints Handler, you’ll be responsible for managing customer complaints at the first stage of our complaints process. You’ll work closely with customers, internal teams and suppliers to investigate concerns, understand what has happened and provide fair resolutions.
You’ll handle a variety of complaints, including customer contacts and online reviews, ensuring each case is investigated thoroughly, independently and in line with our complaint policies and service level agreements.
Your role will include:
- Managing first-stage complaints and lower-risk complaints, aiming to resolve issues before they progress further through the complaints process
- Investigating complaints fairly by reviewing information, gathering evidence and working with relevant teams and suppliers
- Identifying where errors may have occurred and considering appropriate resolutions or redress based on customer impact
- Communicating investigation outcomes clearly and professionally with customers
- Working towards resolving complaints within the required timescales
- Providing feedback to the wider business where improvements can be made to processes or customer journeys
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.

A Bit About You
We’re looking for someone who enjoys helping people, can confidently manage conversations and can remain calm and professional when handling challenging situations.
You’ll ideally have previous experience in complaints handling, customer service, contact centre or another customer-facing environment where you’ve developed strong communication and problem-solving skills.
You’ll be someone who’s:
- Experienced in handling customer complaints (escalated complaint experience is an advantage)
- Confident investigating issues and making fair, balanced decisions
- Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
- Comfortable managing multiple cases and working to deadlines
- Able to understand and follow policies, processes and procedures
- Confident communicating with customers, stakeholders and suppliers
- Skilled at explaining outcomes and solutions clearly
- Comfortable using systems including Excel, Word and Outlook, with the ability to quickly learn new platforms
- Adaptable, positive and eager to learn
- A supportive team player who can work well under pressure
Experience within energy, utilities or B2B services would be an advantage, but we’re most interested in your ability to communicate, investigate and deliver excellent customer service.
