• Handling associated property damage, liability and disputed claim matters.
• Investigating claims thoroughly and making clear, evidence-based liability decisions.
• Managing credit hire cases, including validation, negotiation and cost-control activity.
• Liaising professionally with insurers, solicitors, claimants and other external stakeholders.
• Maintaining accurate claim records and ensuring activity is completed in line with regulatory and company procedures.
• Working collaboratively with colleagues while independently managing priorities and deadlines.

What we’re looking for

• At least two years’ motor claims experience, ideally within third-party claims.
• Strong knowledge of liability assessment, negotiation and the motor claims lifecycle.
• Exposure to credit hire, disputed claims or more technical motor claims would be highly beneficial.
• Confident communication skills, with the ability to deal professionally with a range of stakeholders.
• A methodical approach, strong attention to detail and the confidence to make sound decisions.
• Previous experience working within a regulated insurance environment.

What’s in it for you?

• Salary of £28,000–£33,000, dependent on experience
• Performance-related bonus potential.
• Contributory pension scheme.
• Ongoing technical support and structured development.
• CII study support to help you progress your insurance career.
• A stable, supportive and collaborative environment with clear opportunities for progression.
