• Strong drafting, negotiation, and case management skills, with the ability to manage cases effectively from inception to resolution.
• Sound legal judgement and decision-making skills, with a focus on achieving fair and balanced outcomes.
• Ability to manage competing priorities while delivering excellent customer service and maintaining high professional standards.

What you’ll get for this role:

• Competitive salary (depending on location, skills, experience, and qualifications).
• Bonus opportunity – 6% annual salary, (actual amount depends on your performance and Aviva’s).
• Generous pension scheme e.g. if you put in 8%, Aviva adds 14%.

• Brilliantly supportive policies including parental and carer’s leave.
• Flexible benefits to suit you, including sustainability options such as cycle to work.
• Make a difference, be part of our Aviva Communities and use your 3 paid volunteering days to help others.
• We take your wellbeing seriously with lots of support and tools.
