To thrive within our Claims department, you need to have a specific skillset that is perhaps a little different to other Call Centre Roles. Sometimes, our customers ring up having experienced traumatic or devasting events, so we need you to be intuitive, able to read the customer's needs and know whether to proceed with the call at that time, or to call back later. You need to have emotional intelligence, able to understand when to build a rapport, when to empathise, and when to gently get the information needed in a way that doesn’t upset the customer further, building the right synergy on every call.

Claims is unique in terms of our Call Centres, as you will be dealing with ongoing claims and managing your own caseload. This is why it’s important that you genuinely care about the customers you are working for, as this is very much a service-based role whereby you will be required to support the customer throughout the entire process of their claim.  Time management is crucial, so we need motivated self-starters with the desire to help others.

Working in Claims can be difficult at times, as the calls come thick and fast, but we do everything we can to support you and keep the atmosphere fun and light-hearted, as is fitting with Admiral’s core values. There are incentives, competitions, and events to keep you motivated and engaged, as well as boosting moral – we say it a lot at Admiral, but we really believe that people who like what they do, do it better, so we try to ease the pressure on you by making it fun to come into work every day. This is a frontline role, and so it is hugely important to us that we support you to stay engaged and motivated, because you are vital to Admiral’s success.

You should be expected to:

• Communicate with customers via telephone, writing, email and in some departments, web-chat
• Manage allocation of customer claims, involving elements of both customer, third parties or suppliers
• Work with colleagues, departments, suppliers and third parties to complete full investigations
• Provide a first class service, showing empathy, understanding and compassion when our customers need us most
• Make a difference, whether this is when speaking to customers or making the workplace an even better place to be.

Admiral has an honest, open culture that’s whole-heartedly focused on four key areas: communication, equality, reward and fun. We believe that ‘People who like what they do, do it better’; therefore culture is an integral part of working for Admiral. Expect an environment that rewards hard work and determination, while having a bit of fun along the way!

As part of the Claims Department, you’ll immediately have access to a vast range of support and opportunities. It’s crucial that you can demonstrate a resilient and pro-active approach to working within a fast-paced, evolving environment – if this sounds like something you’re suited to then we’ll do all we can to help you to take the next step in your career.
