Claims Handler (Top Insurer)
Location
Leeds
Job Reference
JH-3195
Compensation
Generous salary plus lucrative bonus and benefits
We are delighted to be partnering with this multi-award-winning specialist insurance company that is seeking a Claims Handler to join its highly regarded Leeds-based Claims team.
This is a great opportunity for someone with experience of handling Property Claims, perhaps within the Household or Personal Lines insurance market, who would relish the opportunity to broaden their technical knowledge and develop a long-term career within commercial insurance.
This company is one of the most respected names in the specialist insurance market and is well-renowned for its commitment to delivering exceptional customer service, as well as providing outstanding training and career development opportunities for its employees.
Responsibilities
Working within a friendly and supportive team, you'll be responsible for handling a varied portfolio of Property and Liability Claims, taking ownership of cases from initial notification through to settlement.
- Property Claims will account for approximately 60% of your time, encompassing a wide variety of risks, including escape of water, fire, storm, theft, and accidental damage.
- You'll also gain valuable exposure to Employers' Liability and Public Liability Claims, working alongside experienced colleagues and external loss adjusters to ensure that claims are investigated and resolved efficiently.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll have regular contact with policyholders, insurance brokers, and other interested parties, gathering information, reviewing claims documentation, making settlement decisions within your authority limits, and ensuring that customers receive a first-class service throughout the claims process.
Qualifications
We're particularly keen to hear from candidates who have experience of handling Household, Domestic, or Commercial Property Claims. However, specific experience of handling commercial insurance claims is by no means essential, as comprehensive training and support will be provided.
Crucially, you'll have strong customer service skills, be highly organised, and possess the confidence to pick up the telephone and proactively progress claims. You'll enjoy taking ownership of your workload, be comfortable making decisions, and have a genuine desire to develop your technical knowledge.
Career Development
One of the biggest attractions of this opportunity is the career development on offer. This insurer has an excellent track record of promoting from within, and this particular team has proven to be a fantastic stepping stone into more specialist areas of claims handling. Previous employees have progressed into Senior Claims Handler positions within specialist Liability, Construction, and Complex Care teams, as well as team leadership roles.
The company is also a strong advocate of professional qualifications and will fully fund your CII studies, including providing study leave and ongoing learning support. There are also generous financial awards available for achieving professional qualifications, further demonstrating the company's commitment to developing its people.

Working Conditions
- Location: Leeds city centre
- Working Hours: 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday
- Work Arrangement: Hybrid-working arrangement, comprising four days in the office and one day working from home
Benefits
You'll be rewarded with a generous basic salary, together with a 15% annual bonus and an attractive package of corporate benefits.
If you're currently handling Property Claims and would welcome the opportunity to broaden your experience, develop new technical skills, and build a rewarding career with a leading specialist insurer, we'd love to hear from you.
