About Homeprotect

Cover for Almost every Home

We founded Homeprotect on a simple principle - to provide protection to people underserved by the home insurance industry. Since 2002, we've been combining smart technology with real human expertise to protect hundreds of thousands of unique homes across the UK, and we're just getting started.

If you're someone who loves solving interesting problems, taking ownership and working with a team that aims high, speaks up and lifts each other, Homeprotect is a place where you can do meaningful work, grow your career and make a real difference for our customers.

What It's Like to Work Here

Our customers come from all walks of life and so do our people. We're a small but perfectly formed team of insurance specialists, technologists, data scientists and customer champions - all bringing individual expertise, an appetite for innovation and a shared ambition to protect the homes and things people love.

We work at pace, but we trust our people to work in a way that brings out their best. You'll collaborate closely across teams, have real ownership from day one and see the impact you have first-hand with flexible working to help you balance the needs of your role with the rhythm of your life.

We've been recognised as a Great Place to Work UK for seven consecutive years - most recently ranked 29th nationally, jumping 71 places in a single year.

Key Responsibilities

  • Proactively manage a caseload of our highest value and most complex property claims, owning the customer journey from beginning to end.
  • Make decisions on liability, coverage, and quantum, following the appropriate escalation routes when needed.
  • Manage all stakeholders involved in a claim, including loss adjusters, contractors, surveyors, and other supply chain partners, to deliver good claims outcomes and collaborate on best practice where appropriate.
  • Deliver exceptional service to our customers with confidence, clarity, and empathy.
  • Help identify high value and complex claims so they reach the Technical Claims team at the right time.
  • Act as the focal point when claims transfer between Technical Claims and other business areas, giving customers a seamless journey.
  • Apply our claims philosophy in your day-to-day handling and contribute to its continuous improvement, to deliver good claims outcomes.
  • Act as an escalation point for complaints and support their resolution.
  • Act as a point of referral for the wider claims department, providing coaching and feedback as appropriate.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement activities, representing Technical Claims interests as appropriate.
  • Share insight with the Head of Technical Claims Outcomes and the wider business on risks, trends, and areas for improvement seen in Technical Claims handling.

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.

You'll work within approved processes and authority limits, keep accurate and auditable records, protect data under UK GDPR and our information security policies, escalate risks and exceptions promptly, report incidents, breaches and any financial crime or sanctions concerns (including via whistleblowing), support vulnerable customers with reasonable adjustments, and complete all mandatory training to maintain competence.

If the role falls within SM&CR, a supplementary document outlining the key regulatory responsibilities will be provided.
