Customer Advisor - Private Medical Insurance - Starting salary between £25,100 to £28,500 (depending on hours, skills, and experience) plus additional benefits

Are you passionate about delivering brilliant service and ensuring customers get the help they need when they need it most? Do you excel in a fast-paced busy environment? 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 that involves confirming appointments, solving bill queries, or assisting with overnight care, outpatient treatment, diagnostic tests, scans, or aftercare. You will help and 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 be able 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 with an enhanced salary of up to £31,200.

Flexible shift pattern between 08:00 - 18:30, Monday - Friday. One Saturday shift every six weeks, 09:00 - 13:00.

1. Excellent communication skills and previous experience in a customer service-related role
2. The ability to be empathetic towards our customers, supporting them through a difficult period while making their claim journey easy for them and building their loyalty
3. A good fact-finder - you will ask the right questions at the right time to get the customer's claim processed in the most efficient way
4. Meticulous and detail-oriented - checking facts and asking questions will enable you to weigh up information and make accurate decisions about the claim
5. Knowledge of insurance products/financial services would be great, but not essential

What You'll Get for This Role

1. Starting salary between £25,100 to £28,500 (depending on hours, location, skills, and experience)
2. Bonus opportunity - 6% of annual salary, actual amount depends on your performance and Aviva's.
