Quilter Cheviot has been the wealth manager of choice for individuals and families for over 250 years, and today is one of the UK's largest wealth management firms offering expert discretionary investment management and financial advice through our sister company, Quilter Cheviot Financial Planning (QCFP). We offer a highly personalised service to private clients, charities, trustees, and professional partners. Quilter Cheviot has presence throughout the UK, Ireland and Channel Islands.

We are part of Quilter plc, a leading provider of advice, investment platforms, multi-asset investment solutions and discretionary fund management which is listed on the London and Johannesburg stock exchanges and manages over £111.6 billion of client investments (as at March 2024).

If you want to play a part in shaping the future of our business, bringing new ideas and challenge then now is a great time to join us.

It is a great opportunity to help support with the establishment of a new section of the QC complaints team. You will be required to investigate and resolve all regulated complaints and internal reviews in a fair and impartial manner. You will also adhere to strict timescales in bringing complaints and reviews to a meaningful resolution.

The duties you will perform will directly impact our customers, so regardless of the findings of the complaints all interactions with all parties must be professional and balanced.

About the Role

Level: 3

Department: Oversight - Complaints

Location: London, with hybrid flexibility.

Contract type: Permanent.

Non regulated

As a Complaints Specialist you will be required to log and investigate all complaints and expressions of dissatisfaction where they relate to financial advice given by Financial Planners within QCFP, within a timely manner, adhering to both internal service level agreements and regulatory timescales. The role will also involve logging and dealing with the administrative aspects of Remediations and Past Business Reviews.

The role will involve investigation of complaints and remediation cases including liaising with all stakeholders, financial advisers, the Financial Ombudsman Service and other third parties. You will also be familiar with Risk & Control Self Assessments, and completing these are necessary.

An individual who sees attention to detail as a priority, you will be prepared to be involved in MI collation, and on occasions presenting that MI to various committees within Quilter Cheviot. In the future, you would be willing to consider expanding the role to include Investment Management complaints if required.

You will need excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage a variety of tasks and responsibilities as you will be dealing with multiple cases at the same time. Accuracy and attention to detail are key requirements of this role.

As a Complaint Specialist you will need to have excellent communication skills on both the telephone and the ability to compile written responses. All correspondence must be written in a professional manor, be grammatically correct and free from any industry jargon. You will need to be confident in receiving incoming calls from our advisers, customers and third parties, as well as making outbound calls where necessary.

About You

Previous experience of working within a complaints/remediation environment is essential.

To succeed in this post, you will need to be highly organised, proactive, level headed and assertive. You should have the ability to manage and prioritise your workload independently and take ownership and responsibility of it.

The role is fast paced and dynamic. Therefore, we are looking for an individual with the ability to meet tight deadlines, the ability to multi-task and adapt to change quickly. You will also possess excellent written skills and have good attention to detail.

We are seeking someone who has a positive and professional attitude with the ability to build strong internal and external relationships. The candidate should have excellent demonstrable customer service skills.

You will have strong IT skills and be proficient in using Microsoft packages.
