Join us as a Claims Officer at Thirteen Group!

Role Overview

Thirteen Group is on the lookout for a Claims Officer to join our Assurance and Compliance team.

As the backbone of our claims management arrangements, we’re looking for a proactive and detail-oriented individual to join us. You’ll be the key contact for disrepair claims and insurance claims queries, as well as helping to drive continuous improvement of our claims management and insurance service.

Skills

Whilst direct experience is not essential as full training will be given, we are looking for candidates to be able to refer to their experience and skills as transferrable to the functions of the role. Key elements to be able to demonstrate will include:

  • Ability to work to tight deadlines
  • Self-motivation to deliver quality services
  • An enquiring mind that can be used to identify service improvements
  • Excellent interpersonal skills dealing with internal and external customers

We’re happy to consider your application on a development basis. If you’re looking for development into a specialist role, and you’ve got some great transferable skills and experience, we want to hear from you! We’ll provide you with comprehensive training and development to thrive in your new role.

This is a hybrid role, where you may work from home or our fantastic office base. We’d expect you to work at least one day a week from our office, or as and when the service requires. We have a fantastic office space at Hudson Quay in Middlesbrough with free parking available.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
