About Marley:

We’re a friendly, dynamic and growing business looking for a new colleague to join our claims handling team. We’re at the forefront of innovation in the UK Structural Warranty Insurance sector, where we provide claims management and loss adjusting services to insurer clients and our customers who may be experiencing a defect with their home.

About your new role:

Working in our Cheltenham office, with the role title of ‘Claims Specialist’, you will handle structural warranty claims from beginning to end.

These claims tend not to have the same sense of urgency as general perils claims such fire or flood, but they can be complex, are always interesting, and require a basic level of buildings knowledge – but don’t worry, if you don’t already have that, we’ll help you ‘build’ it! And, as ever, excellence in customer service is paramount.

Your team-mates and line manager are here to support you as you get up to speed in your new role with us.
