Your customer voice matters to us!

Customer involvement

There's always room for improvement right? And we are always looking for customers to help us. No matter your background or personal circumstances, we're sure you can help.

Group of customers

Serving our customers and creating great experiences for you is the best part of our job. At Staffs Housing you matter, and we need you to help us improve your homes and services.

That’s why we’ve developed a customer voice document that sets out how you can use your voice as a customer to ensure you’re heard for both your own benefit and for the benefit of all our other customers.

Why get involved?

Getting involved can be a rewarding experience. You get to influence the way we work, and help make difference to the services we offer you and other residents.

For example:

  • Some of our existing customers helped set our empty homes standard, this means that new residents get better decorated and well appointed homes to move into.
  • Because customers told us that it was most important, more customers than ever get their enquiry solved by the first member of staff they speak to.
  • Customers reviewed our anti-social behaviour response service and gave us recommendations for change which have made a big difference to the way we keep people informed.

What will I do?

Working with other customers and our board of management, you’ll come up with exciting new ways to improve our services by helping us to understand your needs and expectations.

You'll look at the feedback from customers who have fed back from our other involvement methods, and if you believe Staffs Housing hasn't lived up to its promises, you can request a scrutiny of the service. 

How will we help?

Once you’re signed up, we’ll provide training to give you the skills needed to complete the role. We’ll cover all travel costs and other out of pocket expenses, assistance with costs for childcare or if you care for an adult.

What skills are needed?

We’re looking for someone with a passion for improving our services for all customers and can spare some time each month to help us make this happen.
