Aspire Jobs are delighted to be working with this well-established Group of companies with their Head Office in Ringwood, who are now looking for an experienced Commercial Claims Handler to join their team.

To be successful within this role, you must have commercial claims insurance experience. You will be a confident communicator who is able to work in a team environment.

The Commercial Claims Advisor's role is to provide an in-house claims service to their clients throughout the company, offering guidance, support and assistance to ensure client claims are processed quickly and efficiently.

The successful candidate will have previous claims experience from within commercial insurance. We are looking for somebody that has experience across a wide spectrum of insurance products, and the claims associated with them. As far as commercial insurance is concerned it would be dealing with material damage claims, business interruption, casualty (employers & public liability). And financial lines such as Directors & Officers and Professional Indemnity

It is important that you can identify that the criteria for a 'circumstance' has been met, to guide their clients through the process of making a claim. You will assist in gathering and providing the material required to the relevant insurer(s), and providing support to their clients as required. Once an insurer responds to the notification of a claim, they will be responsible for ensuring the correct outcome according to the terms of the policy is reached. They will need to be resilient, as this may require challenging an insurers view on the cover afforded by the policy if they believe it to be incorrect.

They pride themselves on their high levels of customer service, and part of this Commercial Claims Handler role will be about maintaining and exceeding these in line with Co. policy.
