Technical Claims Handler
Bristol | Hybrid
Up to £45,000
Permanent | 35 hours per week | Monday–Friday (2-3 days in the office)
There are Claims Handler roles where you simply manage your own caseload.
This isn’t one of them.
We’re partnering with a fast-growing specialist insurance business in Bristol that is continuing to invest in and grow its claims function.
They’re looking for an experienced Technical Claims Handler who can become a go-to technical expert within the team — handling the more complex claims yourself, while supporting and developing the wider claims team.
It’s an excellent opportunity for an experienced Claims Handler who enjoys the technical side of claims, wants greater responsibility and likes helping others make better decisions.
What will you be doing?
-
Handling complex claims
Own more complex, high-value and technically challenging claims from notification through to settlement
Assess policy coverage, liability, quantum and overall claims strategy
Review reserves, indemnity decisions and settlement outcomes
Identify potential fraud, coverage concerns and claims requiring escalation
Ensure claims are handled fairly and consistently in line with FCA requirements and insurer mandates -
Becoming the team's technical point of contact
Act as the first point of referral for technical and procedural queries
Support Claims Handlers with complex customer issues and disputes
Provide technical guidance and coaching
Help improve decision-making and technical capability across the wider team

Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Strong understanding of policy interpretation, indemnity, liability and settlements

- Experience mentoring, coaching or technically supporting other Claims Handlers

Why consider it?
This is a chance to join a growing, modern insurance operation where you'll have significantly more influence than simply managing a caseload.
You'll become a key technical resource within the claims function, have exposure to more complex work, help develop the wider team and play a part in improving processes and claims performance as the business continues to scale.
If you're currently a Senior Claims Handler, Technical Claims Handler, Claims Specialist or an experienced Claims Handler ready for more responsibility, I'd be keen to speak with you.
