  • Reporting to the Chief Customer Officer, Serena, you'll lead the launch and delivery of our customer experience strategy, making sure services are shaped around what customers need and the outcomes we want to achieve.
  • With responsibility for approximately 100,000 customers across more than 36,000 homes, you'll work collaboratively across Thirteen to create seamless customer journeys and strengthen customer trust in Thirteen.
  • Lead and develop a refreshed customer experience function, bringing together customer insight, engagement and journey mapping to drive meaningful and measurable improvements.
  • Drive continuous improvement across the end-to-end customer journey, improving trust, reducing repeat contact and making services easier and more consistent for customers.
  • Use insight, segmentation, complaints and performance data to identify root causes, shape priorities and turn learning into practical service improvements.
  • Shape and evolve our customer involvement and scrutiny frameworks, ensuring diverse customer voices influence decision-making and service improvements.
  • Champion multi-channel service excellence, strengthening digital self-service where it works for customers while improving first contact resolution and overall customer satisfaction.

    You'll be an experienced senior leader with a strong track record of delivering customer-focused strategies, service improvement and transformation within large, complex organisations.
  • You'll understand customer insight, service design, journey mapping, segmentation and digital customer engagement, and be able to translate data into clear action and better customer outcomes.
  • A skilled relationship builder with the credibility and influence to engage with Boards, regulators, customers, partners and colleagues at all levels.
  • You'll be resilient, adaptable and comfortable working at pace, with the confidence to challenge constructively and the judgement to balance customer needs, operational delivery and organisational priorities.
  • As an exceptional people leader, you'll inspire teams, lead through change and create an environment where colleagues feel empowered to improve services and deliver great experiences for customers.

As the largest housing association in the North East and among the top 25 nationally, we manage over 36,000 homes, with over 1,600 colleagues providing services for around 100,000 customers.
  • Our vision is to be the most trusted housing association, with happy customers. Following a colleague-led culture refresh, we're embedding our 'Better Together' approach as well as our values: Accountable, Proactive, Courageous, Considerate. We have also secured the highest possible C1/G1/V1 ratings following an inspection by the Regulator of Social Housing, providing strong assurance on our governance, financial viability and consumer standards.
