Job description

You’ll love this role if you’re already used to standing in a customer’s driveway explaining what needs to happen next, working through scopes with builders and keeping repairs moving when timeframes matter. As a Home Assessor, most days start with a booked run sheet of site visits. You’ll travel to damaged homes, inspect what’s happened and confirm the appropriate repair method based on what you see. Some visits are straightforward while others require a more detailed, hands‑on assessment, examining damage from accessible areas, identifying moisture paths and reviewing previous repairs that haven’t held. You’ll spend time face to face with customers, explaining what happens next and being clear about the outcome. While this is an on‑road assessing role, there will also be times where you complete assessments from your desktop. You will also cultivate and sustain strong relationships with our customers and repairer network, all while upholding a high standard of customer service to represent the Youi brand. You will be servicing across the Central Coast and Illawarra Region

What You’ll Have

• Experience in Desktop Home Assessing or Home Claims Management

What Great Looks Like

• You connect the details across damage, reports and policy to make sound decisions, even when the answer isn’t obvious.
• You roll up your sleeves when work builds up, helping move jobs forward instead of waiting for someone else to pick it up
• Repairs keep moving because you stay on top of timeframes and follow ups
• Familiarity with the terminology and procedures associated with claims and building
• Strong communication and negotiation abilities
• Competent computer literacy

If you can see yourself growing into this, you’ll likely love it here.
