Salary - competitive

Are you someone who thrives on helping others and has experience in assessing protection claims?

Do you enjoy working in a supportive team where empathy and attention to detail matter?

We're looking for experienced Life Claims Assessors to join our brilliant team.

We settle 98.3% of all individual protection policies and paid over £1 billion in claims last year - and we'd love your help to keep that going.

You'll assess life, terminal illness and critical illness claims - from investigation to outcome - while supporting customers with empathy, including delivering difficult news sensitively.

From start to finish, you'll guide customers through their claims journey with care and clarity, and refer complex cases to specialists when needed.

You'll manage a portfolio of claims across multiple systems, suggest improvements, and adapt to new technologies. Communication is key, when working with brokers and third parties, as well as customers.

You'll also be a key contact for technical queries and help coach others. This role is all about delivering great service and making a real difference.

• Experience assessing life-related products (e.g., life insurance, terminal illness, critical illness, income protection).
• Knowledge of legal aspects like probate and CIDRA rules.
• Experience managing claims end-to-end, including signing out claim's decisions independently.
• Strong communication skills, including supporting vulnerable customers, with customer-first mindset with great attention to detail.
• Confidence in making decisions and adapting quickly to change.

• Competitive salary (depending on location, skills, experience, and qualifications)
• Bonus opportunity - up to 8% of annual salary. Actual amount depends on your performance and Aviva's.
• Generous pension scheme - Aviva will contribute up to 14%, depending on what you put in.
• 29 days holiday plus bank holidays, and you can choose to buy or sell up to 5 days.
• Aviva-funded Private Medical Benefit to help you get expert support when you need it.
• Make your money go further - Up to 40% discount on Aviva products, and other retailer discounts.
• Up to £1,200 of free Aviva shares per year through our Matching Share Plan and share in the success of Aviva with our Save As You Earn scheme.
• Brilliantly supportive policies including parental and carer's leave.
• Flexible benefits to suit you, including sustainability options such as cycle to work.
• Make a difference, be part of our Aviva Communities and use your 3 paid volunteering days to help others.
