If you are already handling FNOL motor claims and you are doing it on a rota or on a 24/7 operation this is worth ten minutes of your time.

Why people move for this one

It is not usually the money. It is that a Motor Claims Handler here works 35 hours Monday to Friday 9am5pm and that is it. No late shifts no Saturday rota no on-call. For someone coming off a seven-day operation that is most of a life back.

The other thing is the training. Fully funded CII and a dedicated in-house motor claims trainer who coaches one to one.

Being straight with you

Five days a week on site until you have passed probation hybrid is not there from day one. You need to drive; the site sits on the edge of Egerton and public transport is not realistic. And the top of the range genuinely is for two years motor claims we would rather say that now than at offer stage.
