Summary
We have an exciting opportunity for a Customer Experience Team Leader to join the Norwich City Service Limited (NCSL) team. If you are highly organised, detail-oriented, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, we would love to hear from you.
About NCSL:
Responsible for key operational delivery and maintenance of Norwich city's streets, parks and properties by utilising all of the services that our environmental and building repairs teams have to offer.
We locally employ over 300 people with plans of continuous growth, aligned with high aspirations of excellent service delivery. Additionally, we also cater for various private businesses and residents across the city.
NCSL's mission is to deliver efficient and effective environmental and building maintenance services, always putting the customer first, protecting the quality of the environment while embracing our company values and behaviours to enhance the lives of the Norwich community.
Our aim is to create a more inclusive environment that truly balances purpose and culture; one that considers the impact of their decisions on the community and employees. We are passionate about the services we deliver and strive to have a work setting where our company values of accountability, respect and equality are at our core.
Our industry has traditionally attracted more men — and we’re changing that!
We actively encourage applications from women
About the role:
This role delivers a high‑quality, customer‑focused service by overseeing daily operations, managing complex enquiries, and ensuring issues are resolved efficiently across repairs (housing and non-housing).
You will work alongside two Customer Experience Team Leaders, taking ownership of your area to improve booking and reporting accuracy. The position requires confident use of multiple IT systems, strong collaboration with internal teams and external partners, and the ability to handle challenging situations with professionalism and resilience. With responsibility for maintaining compliance, supporting frontline colleagues, and ensuring KPIs are consistently met, the role plays a key part in enhancing customer satisfaction and strengthening organisational performance.
The ideal candidate brings strong experience in customer‑focused, repairs‑related environments, with solid knowledge of social housing properties, defects, and appointment or repairs systems. They are an excellent communicator—clear, courteous, and confident with the public and colleagues at all levels—and have a proven track record of leading teams to deliver high performance. Highly organised and self‑motivated, they can multitask, work under pressure, and manage their own workload with accuracy, attention to detail, and minimal supervision. They combine analytical thinking with sound decision‑making, producing clear reports and solving problems effectively. Proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Excel and Word, is essential, along with the ambition, initiative, and resilience needed to succeed in a fast‑paced, service‑driven role.
