Full job description

We are delighted to be partnering with this multi-award-winning specialist insurance company that is seeking a Claims Handler to join its highly regarded Leeds-based Claims team.

This is a great opportunity for someone with experience of handling Property Claims, perhaps within the Household or Personal Lines insurance market, who would relish the opportunity to broaden their technical knowledge and develop a long-term career within commercial insurance.

This company is one of the most respected names in the specialist insurance market and is well-renowned for its commitment to delivering exceptional customer service, as well as providing outstanding training and career development opportunities for its employees.

Working within a friendly and supportive team, you'll be responsible for handling a varied portfolio of Property and Liability Claims, taking ownership of cases from initial notification through to settlement. Property Claims will account for approximately 60% of your time, encompassing a wide variety of risks, including escape of water, fire, storm, theft and accidental damage.

You'll also gain valuable exposure to Employers' Liability and Public Liability Claims, working alongside experienced colleagues and external loss adjusters to ensure that claims are investigated and resolved efficiently. As such, this is an excellent opportunity to develop your technical knowledge across a much broader range of insurance classes.

You'll have regular contact with policyholders, insurance brokers and other interested parties, gathering information, reviewing claims documentation, making settlement decisions within your authority limits and ensuring that customers receive a first-class service throughout the claims process.

• We're particularly keen to hear from candidates who have experience of handling Household, Domestic or Commercial Property Claims. However, specific experience of handling commercial insurance claims is by no means essential, as comprehensive training and support will be provided.
