Communicating with a wide range of stakeholders including the general public, internal departments, solicitors and external organisations
This is a role where your attention to detail, organisation and communication skills will really shine.

Work well under pressure and can manage competing priorities
Communicate clearly and confidently with a range of audiences
Have some knowledge or understanding of general insurance
Ideally have recent experience in an insurance environment (advantageous but not essential)
Are confident using PC‑based applications, especially Microsoft Office
Enjoy working as part of a team but can also manage your own workload independently
Why This Role?
