The Role:
We now have an excellent opportunity for domestic loss adjusters across the UK. Your role will involve handling a portfolio of domestic losses, from visiting the customer to finalisation of the claim, and with appropriate experience under your belt and perhaps some professional qualifications in due course you will progress to handling claims of values up to £100k. Full training will be provided to deliver the right outcomes for our customers, our Insurer clients and Sedgwick.
We will consider candidates with no loss adjusting experience but with the right attributes as above.
Our adjusters adopt a mix of site, home and office-based working throughout the week which helps support a healthy work/life balance. You will also be required to engage and work with multiple internal and external specialists, so excellent communication skills and the ability to coordinate various parties are essential, whilst always ensuring you have kept the customer fully updated at all times.
Required for this role:
1. Effective communication is crucial for this role as you will need to interact with policyholders, insurance companies, contractors, and other stakeholders.
2. Strong analytical skills to assess the cause and extent of the loss.
3. Accuracy is crucial in assessing property damage and determining the appropriate compensation.
4. You will be required to handle multiple claims simultaneously, and as you’ll be planning your own week you must effectively manage your time, prioritise tasks, and meet deadlines to ensure timely resolution of claims.
5. You must be able to demonstrate empathy and provide excellent customer service, showing understanding and support throughout the claims process.
6. You should have strong negotiation skills to reach fair and satisfactory settlements for all parties.
7. There will be occasions when we require you to work away from home during exceptionally busy times, or when there is a business need in another region.
8. You should maintain confidentiality, avoid conflicts of interest, and adhere to professional standards and codes of conduct.
9. You should be adaptable and able to quickly adjust your approach to different situations, ensuring effective and efficient claim resolution.
10. An understanding of insurance policies, claims processes, and the technical aspects of property damage assessment.
