Complaints Handler Sunderland, North East England, England
Job description
Complaint Handler
Sunderland/Hybrid
As a Barclays Complaints Handler, you will handle complaints about lots of products and services including Mortgages, Credit and Debit Cards, Current Accounts, Savings Accounts and Fraud. Within this role, you must be passionate & empathetic who can help us restore trust and confidence in Barclays when things go wrong for our customers. Our aim is to create exceptional customer experiences by being professional, caring, taking ownership, and keeping our promises to customers.
Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, with 329 years of success, quality and innovation behind us. We offer careers that provide endless opportunity – helping millions of individuals and businesses thrive, and creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted.
This opportunity is location flexible. We will consider requests for locating the role at an alternative Barclays’ key UK office from that advertised.
At Barclays, we offer a hybrid working experience that blends the positives of working alongside colleagues at our onsite locations, together with working from home. We have a structured approach where colleagues work at an onsite location on fixed, ‘anchor’, days of the week, for a minimum of two days a week or more, as set by the business area (or nearest equivalent if working part-time hours). Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager. Please note that as we continue to embed our hybrid working environment, we remain in a test and learn phase, which means that working arrangements may be subject to change on reasonable notice to ensure we meet the needs of our business.
What will you be doing?
- Interacting with customers/clients on their terms, in an engaging way that demonstrates open-mindedness, actively listening and being genuinely curious
- Investigating customer/client queries, concerns, and complaints whilst withholding judgement, using the conversation cycle and role modelling mutual respect
- Intercepting and tuning into issue avoidance, confidently making self-initiated contact, anticipating needs, and addressing customer/clients’ queries and concerns efficiently

- Delivering a fair and accurate outcome, with pace, to meet our regulatory obligations and deliver the best possible customer experience
- Excellent communication skills, both verbally and written, to deliver positive impactful communication needed to gather information, and provide proactive updates
- Fantastic listening skills to ensure you quickly get to the core of our customer’s dissatisfaction
- Exceptional planning and organisational skills with a great attention to detail
- A sense of urgency – our customers will often complain during life’s key moments such as buying a house or after a bereavement and they need a fair and accurate outcome, with pace
Skills that will help you in the role:
- Excellent team player, supporting a culture of individuality, fun, and the sharing and embedding of best practice
- Ability to work individually dealing with challenging situations, remaining in control and empathetic
- Knowledge of regulatory and risk requirements relating to complaints would be advantageous
- Ability to move a conversation on and find common areas of agreement
