Then the Environment Agency is for you! We'd like you to join our busy team that sits at the frontline of our customers service operation within East Anglia area.
Our team serves as the primary point of contact for customers to submit enquiries and requests for information. In this role, you'll play a key part in fulfilling our statutory duties by ensuring that customers receive timely, accurate, and helpful responses.
Every month, we handle around 500 enquiries, ranging from customer feedback and complaints to requests for information and correspondence from MPs. These are diverse and span a wide range of topics, from flooding and fisheries to water quality and waste. Through your contributions, you'll also help support our broader engagement efforts and strengthen our reputation for transparency and excellence.
Key Activities:
• Monitor and manage shared mailboxes.
• Ensuring enquiries are correctly allocated and directed to the appropriate technical teams.
• Manage and respond to complex customer enquiries and information requests within statutory timeframes (e.g. Environmental Information Regulation and Freedom of Information Requests).
• Be an important team player within the Customers and Engagement team, actively contributing to the varied workloads
• Building relationships with internal teams to identify service improvements and process gaps.
• Champion great customer service and support wider teams to be customer focused
In East Anglia we want to create a diverse workplace where people are respected, valued and listened to. We’re all different, and by embracing Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) we can become an equal opportunity employer where jointly we all grow and learn together.
It is our ambition to champion diversity through building a workforce as diverse as the communities we serve.
