You would also promote and support the delivery of ongoing and improved customer service; escalating issues and identifying common trends in line with existing frameworks, focusing on preventing issues from happening in the future. In addition to this you will be dealing with performance issues, completing regular 121s with all team members and also ensuring that resources are managed in line with the workforce plan. Working closely with the Continuous Improvement and Change team and other Team Managers across the operation to ensure ongoing improvement and alignment of processes would also form part of the role.
