Job description

Job Title: Claims Handler

Location: Bristol (Hybrid - 3 days per week in the office)

Salary: Up to £35,000

Benefits: Hybrid working, professional qualification support (CII), long-term progression opportunities

About the Company:

This is an opportunity to join a well-established and growing specialist insurer with a strong reputation across financial lines, construction, accident & health, and affinity products. Backed by a major international parent group, the business combines the stability and support of a global insurer with the close-knit culture of a smaller regional team. With excellent staff retention and ambitious growth plans over the next few years, the business offers genuine long-term career development within a collaborative environment.

Role Summary:

This is an opportunity to join a busy claims function and manage insurance claims from first notification through to settlement or resolution.

You'll take ownership of claim outcomes, work closely with customers, brokers, adjusters and suppliers, and build broader technical exposure across coverage, liability, reserving and claims decision-making.

Key Responsibilities:

Manage claims from FNOL through to resolution: Build end-to-end claims experience while taking ownership of outcomes
Review policy terms, coverage and claim documentation: Develop stronger technical judgement around coverage and liability decisions
Communicate with customers and brokers: Build trusted relationships while providing clear and professional claims updates
Liaise with TPAs, adjusters and suppliers: Gain exposure to the wider claims process and external stakeholders
Maintain accurate, audit-ready claim files: Strengthen your understanding of regulatory, data and compliance requirements
Monitor reserves, indemnity spend and settlement strategy: Develop commercial awareness and intelligent claims decision-making

Requirements:

Experience or technical knowledge of insurance claims, including the claims lifecycle from FNOL through to settlement
Understanding of policy wordings, coverage principles and liability assessment, with familiarity with Civil Procedure Rules and the litigation process
Awareness of FCA requirements, Consumer Duty, data protection and fair customer outcomes
Confident communication, organisation and claims-system skills, with the ability to manage workloads and escalate complex matters appropriately

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