Role Summary

This role suits an experienced commercial claims specialist, or a motivated Senior Claims Handler ready to step into leadership.

• A track record of delivering high standards of client service within an insurance broker or commercial insurer setting.
• Prior mentoring or leadership experience, or clear readiness as an experienced Senior Claims Handler to step into formal management.
• Proficiency with commercial broking platforms and strong stakeholder-management skills, with Dip CII study or progress viewed favourably.

If this role isn't quite right, it's still worth speaking to one of our specialist team, as we may be working on something that hasn't hit the market yet.
