Technical Field Claims Underwriter - London, United Kingdom - Hiscox
Description
Job Type:
Permanent Build a brilliant future with Hiscox
The role
This role will suit someone who loves to work in a fast-paced environment whilst offering a premium customer service experience. You'll enjoy a varied role utilising your claims expertise whilst out in customers' homes supporting them with their claim. Claims types are varied and can range from dealing with buildings, contents or fine art damage within high net worth homes or assisting commercial customers to aid their recovery following an escape of water claim.
You will visit a customer in person or undertake a video call to assess policy coverage, identify the extent of damage to buildings, contents or business interruption elements, advise on mitigation and agree the scope of repairs and settlement.
In delivering exceptional service to our brokers and customers you will be a dedicated, confident, resourceful individual who cares for the customer and is empowered and technically equipped to make their own decisions on all types of property claims, with a particular focus on escape of water.
This role will predominantly cover Central London (by car or train) and either West London, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire or East London, Essex, Herts & Kent (coverage area will depend on location) but a flexible approach to travel is needed because we are a small team and highly customer focussed. The expectation is that the successful candidate will have two administrative (desk based) days per week.
What you'll be doing
Our must haves
Our nice to haves:
Diversity and flexible working at Hiscox
At Hiscox we care about our people. We hire the best people for the job and we're committed to diversity and creating a truly inclusive culture, which we believe drives success. We also understand that working life doesn't always have to be 'nine to five' and we support flexible working wherever we can. No promises, but please chat to our resourcing team about the flexibility we could offer for this role.
We've introduced new hybrid ways of working to encourage a healthy work life balance. We anticipate the successful candidate for this role will predominantly be field based, visiting customers as and when required, with an office hub day in Colchester once per month.
