  • A willingness to liaise and build effective working relationships with colleagues in our other internal product lines/departments as required.
  • The ability to manage incoming and outgoing correspondence and complete case enquiries as directed by the adjuster, but with the confidence and technical ability to work without direction where appropriate
  • Understand the importance of ensuring all stakeholders and parties are kept fully updated at all times, and have a pro-active mindset
  • Provide assistance on site on occasion, including Minute taking of meetings, preparation of the action plan, taking statements/photographs etc. as directed
  • Accurate daily time recording, delivering a high proportion of chargeable hours demonstrating technical competence
  • This is a great opportunity for those who are motivated by the desire to deliver excellent customer outcomes, and the variety of claims work as well as the opportunity to partner with our Home Claims Adjusters and contribute to the ongoing success of Sedgwick in the UK.

    Many of our colleagues now benefit from working flexibly between the office and home, which helps support a healthy work/life balance. When you do spend time in our office, you'll experience bright and open surroundings which offer excellent areas for collaboration as well as desk space. It's an ideal environment for working alongside and interacting with fellow colleagues.
