Property Adjuster - Kent
Have a front row seat at the human side of insurance
Job Location: Kent/South London Region
Job Type: Permanent
Remuneration : Competitive salary taking into account skills, experience and qualifications
We have a fantastic opportunity for Domestic Loss Adjusters across the Kent/South London Region.
As a Domestic Loss Adjuster, you'll manage a caseload of domestic property damage claims across Kent/South London, from visiting customers at their homes, co-ordinating visits from contractors, to finally settling each claim.
Imagine yourself stepping into people's lives during some of their most unsettling moments: a burst pipe that flooded the kitchen, a fire that scorched the living room, trees fallen through the roof from storm damage. You'll be there, the calming presence amidst the chaos, then returning to your desk at Sedgwick surrounded by your colleagues, or to your laptop at home, to compile a comprehensive report.
We provide full training, so even if you're new to insurance, we can get you up to speed. We value the right qualities more than experience – a curious mind, excellent communication, and a caring nature are key. Even though you'll be comfortable working independently, you'll be part of a supportive team with dedicated technical and managerial support.
Along with visits to claimants’ properties in the Kent/London Region, we are happy for your base to be a balance of our office and your home.
This is perfect for detail-oriented problem-solvers, with a passion for helping people, who crave variety and want to build a rewarding career.
The skills you will have when you apply:
1. A full UK Driving Licence : It is essential you can travel by car
2. Excellent communication skills : You'll speak with and write to policyholders, insurers, contractors, and more. You’ll explain complex details clearly and negotiate fair settlements for all.
3. Problem-solving abilities : You should be able to identify and solve problems efficiently
4. Time management : As you’ll be planning your own week you must effectively manage your time, prioritise tasks, and meet deadlines. You will be required to handle multiple claims simultaneously.
What is helpful, but not vital, in your application:
Use of Apple software such as iPads, or other tablets
Have an understanding of how a home insurance policy operates and the basic make up of a domestic property.
