Are you someone who thrives on delivering exceptional customer service while balancing cost effectiveness? Do you love co-ordinating several stakeholders and communicating effectively to ensure proactive management of claims?
Due to continued growth, we're looking for a Desk-based Loss Adjuster to join our Client’s specialist team. This is more than just a desk-based role — it's a chance to make a real difference to people's lives when they need it most.
About the Role
As a Desk-based Loss Adjuster, you'll be at the heart of our Client’s response to building-related damage caused by escape of water, fire, flood, or impact, acting as claim owner for customers and suppliers. You'll manage household claims up to £50,000, taking full ownership from instruction through to settlement. This is a role that requires both technical acumen and empathy — balancing cost-effective solutions with exceptional customer care.
You'll be part of a close-knit team, working virtually but collaboratively, supported by field-based colleagues (acting as your eyes on site) and a trusted supplier network. Your ability to interpret scope of works, building pathology, and coordinate multiple stakeholders will be key to delivering timely, high-quality outcomes.
Why This Role Matters
This isn't just about processing claims — it's about rebuilding homes and restoring peace of mind. Your technical knowledge and decision-making will directly influence the speed, quality, and cost of reinstatement. Managing claims of this scale comes with significant responsibility, and your expertise will ensure our Client delivers fair, accurate, and customer-focused solutions every time.
What We're Looking For
Exceptional empathy and communication skills; including delivering difficult news with sensitivity and maintaining strong customer relationships
In-depth expertise in the Residential (Home) property insurance sector, ideally in a loss adjusting, contractor management or technical claims role managing flood, escape of water (EOW) and fire damage alongside health and safety and industry specific regulations
Strong understanding of building pathology and reinstatement techniques including knowledge of building standards, materials, and mitigation practices (BDMA qualification desirable but not essential)
Ability to interpret and where appropriate challenge scopes and schedules of works using photos, video, and remote tools
Ability to project manage claims ensuring a proactive approach to file management (including confident stakeholder management of customers, contractors, DR&R, and other suppliers)
What You'll Bring
A passion for helping people and solving problems
A proactive, solution-focused mindset
The confidence to make decisions and stand by them
A collaborative approach and willingness to share knowledge within a team
A desire to grow your technical expertise and contribute to a high-performing team
