Help us to test our customer service

Are you interested in helping us to improve our customer services? Would you like to be part of a team of neighbourhood inspectors?

You can receive free training and £50 of shopping vouchers for helping us with some ‘mystery shopping’ or doing neighbourhood surveys.

Mystery shopping

Mystery shoppers call, write or email the Trust with everyday questions about our services, like requesting a repair or asking for a transfer. They monitor how long it took staff to answer the phone, how they were greeted and how professionally their request was handled. The mystery shopper then reports back to us what they found out and we work together to make improvements if needed.

Neighbourhood inspectors

Neighbourhood inspectors carry out visual checks in an area, commenting on the general upkeep, levels of litter, graffiti, and noting any dumping of rubbish for example. This information is then used to help us prioritise where work is needed.

How do I get involved?

If you would like to take part in either of these initiatives, we offer training, and support with transport, childcare and other care costs to enable you to attend. We would then ask you to carry out an agreed number of tasks.

Use the links opposite to find out more about both of these opportunities and to download an application form.
