Description
This business handles transport industry claims (related to losses, damage, etc).

They have a great record of employing graduates who have gone on to have successful careers with them, and have progressed within the business.

Full training is provided, so don't worry if you have no experience in this area.

Initially you will be supporting experienced staff and then in time you could be managing your own caseload, from taking first notification through to settlement.

You will be collating information, and communicating with insurers, and lawyers. Advising clients, identifying third-party fault, and then negotiating and settling recovery claims.


The role could be in one of two teams: either in the recoveries team (the largest specialist in-house recoveries team in the World), which relates to proceeds from insurance policies, covering the loss of damaged or destroyed assets.

Or, in the claims defence team, which occasionally pursues claims as well.

These may not mean much to you, and that is ok - training will be given.


You should be confident in the negotiation aspect, this will require confidence and tenacity as it can sometimes be a little confrontational in nature - for example, if you are trying to reach an early settlement with the other party.


There could also be the opportunity to work towards a role where you will be working on major shipping incidents (some that your friends and family will even have heard of - for example the vessel that was in the news in 2021 for becoming "stuck" in the Suez Canal).

These claims are very large, and complex.

This would mean a promotion and a salary increase (usually takes a year or so to get to that level).

There is some flexibility on degree type.

Location is Sidcup, south-east London.

After the initial training period, if all goes well you would have the option to work from home for up to 2 days a week.

Salary is reviewed after a few months in the role.
