· Understanding Insurer requirements and complying with Insurer SLA's and KPI's.

· Responsible for the proactive management of a caseload to avoid unnecessary litigation and ensure effective resolution.

· Responsible for maintaining and ensuring the completeness, accuracy, quality, and integrity of data on the electronic case management system for your caseload.

· Supporting monthly and ad hoc reporting to Insurer clients.

· Always providing excellent customer service, contributing to being a market leading claims function.

· Ensuring a consistent approach to client claims and implementing Insurers' reserving policies, so that claims are dealt with fairly and costs are properly controlled, supported by the use of the most appropriate approved external suppliers.

· Identifying trends and escalating risk information to the Head of Claims and Insurers where appropriate, to help manage the profitability of the work portfolio.

· Seeking continuous self-development and keeping up to date with changes in the profession, ensuring you are able to provide market leading solutions.

· Building and maintaining effective working relationships with intermediaries, customers, and suppliers to ensure defined service levels are met and exceeded.

· Ensuring that quality assurance standards are achieved, and procedures followed to agreed standards.

Required

· Experience in claims with technical knowledge and expertise.
