To enhance the AA’s customer service delivery as a Household Claims Handler, you will be responsible for handling a portfolio of Household Claims with an opportunity to specialise in a particular area of property claims. The role entails case ownership of claims that may include accidental damage, storm, flood, escape of water/burst pipes, theft, fire, and impact etc. This is a great opportunity to take ownership and responsibility for a portfolio of cases and to see each case through to completion, all whilst providing an outstanding customer experience during what can be a difficult time for the customer. Ensuring customer expectations are met and exceeded on every call, you’ll be liaising with internal and external departments, making sure all parties are kept fully informed of the situation until the work is completed.
What will I be doing?
- Handling either a mixed portfolio of Household insurance claims or specialising in one or more perils
- Making sure that service level agreements (SLA’s) are met, keeping the customer updated on the progress of their claim and working to make sure claims are settled promptly and fairly
- Liaising with our supply chain involved with claims
- Ensuring any complaints or expressions of dissatisfaction are accurately recorded and managed in accordance with our complaints processes
- Accurately recording the information given to us by the customer concerning the circumstances of the claim and checking that the type of loss or damage are covered by the terms of the policy. Where part or all of the claim may not be covered, advising the customer in an appropriate and timely manner.
- Supporting cost, service and process efficiency projects across the team, as well as having the opportunity to get involved in departmental projects
What do I need?
- Home/motor Insurance claims management background
- Experience in cost containment
- Ability to show empathy with an understanding of how to support people through their time of need
