Your new company
A leading North West housing provider delivering safe, secure, customer‑focused services to thousands of residents.
You'll be joining a well‑established Customer Resolutions team committed to improving customer experience and resolving issues quickly, fairly, and professionally.
Your new role
You'll step in as a Customer Resolution Specialist, handling Stage 1 and Stage 2 complaints for a busy housing provider.
Working closely with internal teams, you'll investigate cases, gather evidence, draft responses, and ensure all complaints are managed in line with policy, regulatory expectations, and service standards.
This role is 100% office‑based in Accrington during the first few weeks for training, with the option for some hybrid working once fully embedded.
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.
