About the Role
ARAG UK currently have an excellent opportunity for a Claims Handler in our Bristol office. This is a fantastic opportunity to work in an environment where you can help deliver on our commitment to Access to Justice by joining the largest UK Legal Expenses insurer. If you are looking for a career with excellent benefits, culture and training then this is the role for you!
We offer a 35-hour working week with no evenings or weekends, and our bright, modern offices are centrally located with the benefit of excellent transport links. Our hybrid working patterns, once your training is complete, are two days in the office each week.
With thorough coaching and support, you’ll 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.
Rishi, who joined us this year says, “Even though I started with zero legal knowledge, the academy is so well-structured that I can actually feel my technical skills and confidence building up week by week. It’s rare to find a company that treats training as a genuine pillar rather than just a checkbox to tick.”
Once in the role, internal mobility is important to us at ARAG and there is a clear career pathway and a range of opportunities to develop your career here in the claims environment at ARAG for those looking to progress.
