About Midland Heart

We're a housing association, here to provide safe, affordable homes and to build stronger communities across the Midlands. And we're offering students the chance to intern in our Customer Experience Team — where you'll gain hands-on experience supporting tenant engagement, complaints analysis, and service improvement in a fast-paced dynamic organisation.

Your Role:

You'll apply your academic knowledge to real-world challenges – working alongside experienced Customer Experience professionals whilst gaining insight into tenant scrutiny, complaints trends, and service design. You'll develop a first-hand appreciation of how our Customer Insight team uses feedback to explore themes and outcomes that improve services — directly benefiting colleagues and tenants.

Your day to day will see you:

  • Supporting communication with tenants through various channels to promote engagement and scrutiny opportunities.
  • Assisting in the organisation of tenant meetings, ensuring accurate records are kept and actions are tracked to completion.
  • Helping coordinate "deep dive" activities by collating data and analysing findings related to customer satisfaction and complaint trends.
  • Contributing to the preparation of case studies and presentation materials that explore service improvement opportunities.
  • Researching best practices in the housing sector and beyond to help improve how we handle complaints and engage with our communities.

What we're looking for:

  • Currently studying (or recently completed) a degree in Social Policy, Business Management, Psychology, or another related discipline.
  • Strong organisational skills and an interest in how customer feedback can drive business change.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to communicate clearly with a diverse range of stakeholders and tenants.
  • An analytical mind with the ability to research information and summarise findings effectively.
  • Enthusiasm, openness to feedback, and a genuine desire to learn.
