Job description
This is an excellent route for you to develop your existing claims skills into a more strategic leadership capacity.
This insurance team in Edinburgh has been providing risk and insurance advice to commercial clients for over 30 years, building a reputation as a client-led, ethical bunch of professionals.
Core to their approach is having a robust, in-house claims team who manage all aspects of day-to-day claims for the client portfolio.
So that's handling commercial, property and some bespoke HNW cases for clients requiring liaison with external parties, claims analysis and settlement negotiations.
The team is set to change in the not-too-distant future with the current Head of Claims planning a retirement hence the opening of this Senior Claims Handler position.
The plan here is for you to join as the number 2 in claims, managing the caseload and working with the current Head of Claims for more strategic and managerial work.
Over the initial 18 months in the role, you'll be getting prepped in all aspects of running the full claims function and will take over the reins following the planned retirement.
It's a brilliant opportunity for you to get hands on close mentoring, training and support to guide you from senior to leadership level.
You'll need a background in commercial claims for this one from either an adjusting, broker or insurer background and have the drive to really progress.
This position is Edinburgh based with hybrid working available requiring just 2 or 3 days in the office per week.
Salary is up to £43, depending on your level of experience and technical skill in claims.
