This is the Job

If you have strong experience handling subsidence claims and enjoy getting to the heart of complex property claims, this is an opportunity to put your technical expertise and judgement to work where it really matters.

We are particularly interested in experienced subsidence claims professionals who want to use their technical expertise within a wider complex household claims environment.

You'll manage a portfolio of technical and higher-value household claims, the majority of which will be Subsidence but may also include escape of water, flood, fire, and oil spill cases. Taking ownership from initial review through to resolution, you'll apply your claims expertise to keep cases moving, manage leakage and deliver fair, accurate and timely outcomes.

Alongside managing your own caseload, you'll be a trusted technical referral point for the wider claims team and work closely with our Major & Complex team on more challenging cases. You'll share your expertise, support colleagues' development and bring the empathy, ownership and clear communication our customers need when dealing with difficult or distressing circumstances.

Key Responsibilities

• Communicate clearly and sensitively with customers and stakeholders, using empathy, tact, assertiveness and diplomacy in challenging or distressing circumstances.
• Maintain high standards of case handling and administration, taking ownership, meeting deadlines and adapting priorities in a busy claims environment.
