Resident Inspector - Mystery Shopping
What do Resident Inspectors
do?
Resident Inspectors test our services by acting
as customers.
They report on the quality of our
service including how easy it is to find out about
specific products or services.
What are the benefits of having resident
inspectors?
For the organisation: it helps us to understand how well we serve
customers and highlights the improvements we might need to
make.
For the resident: it is a way of developing
new skills and building on those you already have. It also gives
you the opportunity to learn about our work and to play a
vital role in helping us improve our service. And it can be a
fun too!
