She said: “These roles help us reinforce our values of Customer First, Together and Listen, Act and Learn.

“We want customers to know that we’re open to their scrutiny of our work. We want them to be able to hold us to account.

“These roles mean that customer needs, experiences and concerns influence the future decisions of the organisation. It allows us to embed the culture of continuous improvement in our approach to customer engagement.”

We held the first round of recruitment for this role earlier this year, with Geraldine Brazil being the successful candidate. She spoke of her background and her hopes for the role.

“I have been an LHP customer for 17 years and taking on this unique role gives me an invaluable perspective from the view of the customer,” she said.

“I have property experience in conveyancing, and I am currently an A-level teacher.

“Growing up on a council estate in London has given me an insight into what it is like to grow up in social housing from a young child right through to adulthood.”

She continued: “My goal is to help LHP deliver services that their customers expect and deserve.”

Exciting new opportunities for customers
