The Role / Team:

In this role, you will manage your own caseload of complex industrial disease claims. You will conduct policy investigations, make informed liability decisions, and identify recovery opportunities, ensuring claims are handled proactively to reduce litigation. You will join a well-established team of experienced professionals who provide ongoing support and collaboration, helping you develop deeper expertise while contributing to key team and client objectives. This role offers the chance to be part of a growing, forward-thinking claims function where quality and technical excellence are paramount.

We would love to hear from individuals who have a proven background in EL/PL claims, ideally with industrial disease experience and a good understanding of legal terminology. You will need to be confident in engaging with stakeholders at all levels and demonstrate strong decision-making and organisational skills. Candidates from both insurance and legal environments, including claimant or defendant solicitors will be considered.

You will receive a competitive salary, hybrid working and a generous benefits package including private medical cover and 24/7 virtual GP access, a performance-based bonus scheme, volunteering days and extensive well-being support. Whether you’re looking for a step up into more complex work or a move into a collaborative, non-targeted environment, this is your chance to specialise within a growing and highly respected well-known organisation.
