This is undoubtedly one of the UK’s independent broking market’s biggest success stories. Since its humble beginnings as a single office in Leeds, this commercial brokerage now boasts circa 10 offices UK-wide, and is poised to add more.
Yet despite this ongoing expansion, fuelled by both organic growth and strategic acquisitions, the board of this firm puts its success down to the fact that its growth is “considered and measured”, and that all acquisitions are “cherry picked” to ensure that there is a genuine culture fit. Moreover, whilst this company has significantly expanded its headcount in recent years, it takes great pride in the fact that it “retains its family-feel within its DNA”, which is testament to its great working environment and very low staff turnover.
As a result of continued growth, a need has arisen for an experienced Claims Handler to manage a variety of losses within the group’s commercial portfolio. You will be working within an experienced and proactive team within the Leeds Head Office, providing a first-class service to a wide range of clientele spanning many industry sectors.
We are looking for someone who has a genuine passion for claims handling, and who has their customers’ best interests at heart, at all times. You’ll be proactive, inquisitive, and you’ll challenge insurers’ decisions, when needed, in order to achieve the right outcome for your valued clients. This is far from a post-box-style claims role and as such, we are looking for someone who is willing to challenge the status quo and go “above and beyond”. You’ll be working alongside Account Executives and Directors who will really value your input, which will give you exposure to some client meetings and ad hoc projects.
Because of the existing skill-sets within the claims team, we are ideally seeking someone who has experience of dealing with Property Claims. However, we will consider exceptional and ambitious Claims Handlers from other insurance product backgrounds who have a real thirst for learning. Our client welcomes applications from candidates from a broker, insurer, loss adjuster or TPA background.
This company is a big believer in recruiting the best talent in the market, and as such, you’ll be mentored by an incredibly experienced and gifted Head of Claims, who will have your professional development at the top of their agenda. Because of its continued growth plans, this firm NEEDS people who are wanting to progress within the firm, and because of this, the sky really is the limit in terms of your career development. In fact, many of the Directors and Managers within this firm joined at a similar level as this, and have progressed through the ranks to achieve great things.
You will be rewarded with an attractive salary (depending on experience), together with a range of company benefits. The company is also flexible with regards to home/ office working, and will work hard to accommodate your specific requirements. Its Head Office is an impressive building with free parking, in close proximity to the train station, and it is extremely near to some very tempting local amenities!
If you are a Claims Handler who is looking for unrivalled career development, then look no further than this huge success story of a company and apply in confidence today.
