Senior Claims Adjuster in London

We are looking for a Senior Claims Adjuster based in London.

Job Purpose/Role

An insurance claim is the defining moment for our service; it is the moment when we deliver on our promise.

• Preferably a degree in Law or another appropriate discipline, along with a professional insurance qualification.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Excel.
