Full Job Description

As an Injury Claims Handler in our Bristol office, you'll be part of a large team that manages third party personal injury claims from initial claim through to settlement. We're offering you a 35-hour week with shift patterns running from Monday to Friday between 8am and 6pm. As well as no weekend working, we offer homeworking options after probation that work for you. At NFU Mutual, we put our customers at the heart of everything we do. We're proud to have built an enviable reputation for exceptional member loyalty, which is why 9 out of 10 customers renew with us each year. You'll engage with our customers, NFU Mutual Agents and a variety of third parties to gather the necessary information that'll help you make fair decisions on our customer's claims. We always look for ways to settle our customers' claims, this means less no and more yes, which makes working in our claims team altogether more satisfying and rewarding. You'll be joining a vibrant and successful team, with a supportive learning environment focused on your personal and career development.

We are seeking dynamic and driven individuals, ideally with claims handling experience in either Motor or Casualty claims to join our Personal Injury Department in Bristol. You will work as part of teams responsible for managing and processing third party injury claims from when the claim is intimated to settlement. You'll have excellent communication skills and have a proven ability and confidence to negotiate and challenge third party claims where necessary to deliver excellent outcomes for our customers. You will be proficient in using systems and software applications with appropriate training provided. Previous third party claims experience is desirable, but we are open to speaking to candidates from different areas of insurance.
