L&Q's Future Shape Strategy places Operational Excellence-delivering reliable, consistent, and repeatable services-at the heart of our mission. As we continue to reshape our Income Management Team and ways of working, this is an exciting opportunity for you to join as a Recovery & Enforcement Lead , where you will play a key role in reducing arrears and minimizing bad debt across our organization. You'll independently manage a portfolio of accounts, represent L&Q in legal proceedings, and collaborate closely with internal and external teams to drive effective, customer-focused solutions.
You will have experience of providing a professional and customer focussed income recovery and enforcement service in order to reduce arrears and bad debt across the organisation. You will be able to work independently to successfully resolve accounts in a timely manner and to a clearly defined standard.
You will represent L&Q through legal processes but will need knowledge of the full arrears lifecycle and be able to work collaboratively with colleagues across Income Management, third-party agencies and the wider organisation to bring about successful outcomes. You will be confident to produce legal documentation and be organised to complete workload and meet several deadlines. A successful Recovery and Enforcement Lead will successfully prioritise competing workload and deadlines.
You will balance being compassionate and empathetic, with the ability to also have challenging conversations when needed. Resilience must be demonstrated within this role, alongside delivering excellent customer outcomes. You will meet KPI targets and numerous deadlines throughout your working day to contribute to the departments mission of reducing rent arrears and maximising income. You will report on outcomes at court hearings, which you may be required to attend and be accountable for the progress of legal proceedings.
Our Recovery & Enforcement Leads will need to be resourceful and organised in their approach demonstrating an ability to prioritise where required. They will also work well as part of a Team and have the ability to listen, question, influence and negotiate as part of the day to day support they provide to residents and colleagues.
If successful, you will report into one of our Customer Account Managers and work as part of a geographical Team managing the full arrears lifecycle.
What You'll Bring:
To excel in this role, you'll need:
Customer Service:
Experience of providing excellent customer service in a fast-paced challenging environment. Demonstratable experience of dealing with customers sensitively in challenging circumstances
Arrears Management:
Experience of working with all types of debt recovery legal proceedings up to and including eviction as well as a knowledge of welfare benefits.
Problem Solving:
Skills and experience to make reasoned decisions, from a range of solutions, based on professional judgement
Organisation and Time Management:
Self-motivated with excellent organisational skills and able to effectively prioritise workload
Team Working:
Able to work with and communicate with internal and external colleagues in order to find holistic solutions to challenges that might arise across the full arrears lifecycle
