The Role

You’ll be responsible for managing your own caseload of motor bodily injury claims valued up to £50,000, handling cases from instruction through to settlement or litigation where required.

You’ll review medical evidence and expert reports, investigate liability disputes, assess general and special damages, negotiate settlements and liaise with claimants, solicitors and third parties to ensure claims are progressed efficiently. The role will also provide exposure to out-of-jurisdiction claims, including Scotland, Northern Ireland and Guernsey, offering the opportunity to broaden your technical expertise and handle a varied and interesting caseload.

• Strong communication, negotiation and stakeholder management skills
• The ability to prioritise and manage a varied caseload effectively
• A proactive approach and genuine interest in developing your technical claims knowledge

Experience dealing with out-of-jurisdiction claims, litigated files or more complex bodily injury matters would be advantageous.

What’s in it for You?

Alongside a competitive basic salary as well as a potential annualbonus, you’ll be joining a growing InsurTech business that is continuing to invest heavily in its Bodily Injury function. You’ll have the opportunity to handle a more technical and varied caseload, further develop your expertise across OIC, MOJ and out-of-jurisdiction claims, and progress your career within a business that can offer genuine long-term opportunities as the team continues to grow.
