* Oversee the customer experience throughout the claim life-cycle from first point of contact to investigating evidence and making informed decisions on claims outcomes, displaying empathy and compassion throughout.

* Provide clear, concise and accurate information to our customers, business partners and internal customers.

* Quickly develop your knowledge of ARAG products and policies to become an expert in assessing and identifying claims, and managing appointments of litigators and solicitors where necessary.

About You

We are looking for candidates that can demonstrate:

* An understanding of delivering excellent customer service in a fast-paced environment

* A drive to work in a customer facing or technical role

* Experience in working in a claims environment in general insurance, or in legal services.
