Are you someone who establishes relationships easily with others, making them feel valued and supported? We are looking for people who truly care and are driven to give it their all every single day.

A bit about the job

You will be working within a fast-paced telephony-driven role to guide and support customers through their health claims journey, whether it's confirming appointments, solving a bill query, or assisting with overnight care, outpatient treatment, diagnostic tests, scans, or aftercare. You will help & support our customers to get the specialist private treatment they need. Part of this role will involve handling customer dissatisfaction, with support from your team.

We love people who do the right thing for our customers and our colleagues. We want people who speak up, take ownership, and make good decisions.

When you join us, you’ll get a warm welcome as well as great development. We’re committed to helping you unlock your brilliance, ensuring you feel fulfilled and can develop in the way you want to. We want you to continually develop, grow, and shine in your career. Whether it’s learning for your current role or developing your skills for the future, we’ve got you covered.

Our standard full-time contracts are for 35 hours per week (with options for part-time working, after the initial 18-week full-time training period). However, we want you to have the flexibility to increase your working hours if it suits you, so we also offer the option for an enhanced 40-hour contract after training, which has an enhanced salary of up to £31,200.

• Meticulous and detail-oriented - checking facts and asking questions will enable you to weigh up information and make accurate decisions about the claim
• Knowledge of insurance products/financial services would be great, but not essential
