We offer flexibility with our smart working initiative, combining working from home and from our Ipswich office, or attending our London office from time to time. Our claims culture fosters collaboration, customer service and colleague development – it is energising; no two claims are exactly the same!

As the Clients and Customers we look after vary from individual claimants to companies at the largest end of the market, no two days are the same. You could be liaising with Underwriters to review policy T&Cs or providing an update on a large loss at the beginning of the week, then working alongside our Finance teams as part of a claims settlement process, finishing the week with a meeting with Brokers or Customers to bring to life the claims journey on a new business pitch. You’ll achieve this by using the knowledge and skills you will learn through your development journey, supported by experienced team members and a structured training plan around the different claims systems and processes in place.

At AXA XL, it is our Claims team which sets us apart. Our experienced Claims professionals use their specialised expertise to handle even the most complex claims seamlessly. How do you make a good thing better? You focus on excellence and creating a culture of continuous improvement. You create an environment that fosters collaboration, customer service and colleague development. And you build a team of passionate and innovative claims experts who see success as a reason to roll up their sleeves and drive for improvement – all part of the dynamism that exists throughout our claims team.

As a Claims Adjuster, you will play a critical role in the Motor claims team by managing and resolving claims for our customers. You will work closely with your manager and coordinate with fellow claims handlers to bring claims to a resolution.

This is a great opportunity where you will play a key role in the Motor claims team by managing and resolving claims for our diverse corporate client base. The team deal with all aspects of the claim, so you’ll have lots of variety and the opportunity to broaden horizons. You’ll be part of a supportive team who all share a passion and excellence for claims handling and customer service.

You will be based in our Ipswich office, however we are excited to be implementing our Smart Working initiative in the coming months offering a hybrid way of working, combining both remote and office

Sustainability

At AXA XL, Sustainability is integral to our business strategy. In an ever-changing world, AXA XL protects what matters most for our clients and communities. We know that sustainability is at the root of a more resilient future. Our 2023-26 Sustainability strategy, called “Roots of resilience”, focuses on protecting natural ecosystems, addressing climate change, and embedding sustainable practices across our operations.

Our Pillars:

• Valuing nature: How we impact nature affects how nature impacts us. Resilient ecosystems - the foundation of a sustainable planet and society – are essential to our future. We’re committed to protecting and restoring nature – from mangrove forests to the bees in our backyard – by increasing biodiversity awareness and inspiring clients and colleagues to put nature at the heart of their plans.

Unpredictable weather, increasing temperatures, and rising sea levels cause both social inequalities and environmental disruption. We're building a net zero strategy, developing insurance products and services, and mobilizing to advance thought leadership and investment in societal-led solutions.
• Integrating ESG: All companies have a role to play in building a more resilient future. Incorporating ESG considerations into our internal processes and practices builds resilience from the roots of our business. We’re training our colleagues, engaging our external partners, and evolving our sustainability governance and reporting.
• AXA Hearts in Action: We have established volunteering and charitable giving programs to help colleagues support causes that matter most to them, known as AXA XL’s “Hearts in Action” programs. These include our Matching Gifts program, Volunteering Leave, and our annual volunteering day – the Global Day of Giving.
