Take responsibility for handling commercial insurance claims across a varied client portfolio, with particular exposure to Motor Fleet and Motor Trade risks. This Senior Claims Handler position in Birmingham offers a salary of £40,000-£45,000, discretionary bonus and flexible hybrid working within an established insurance broking business.

This is a senior claims position where your technical knowledge, attention to detail and ability to manage client relationships will be central to delivering a strong claims service.
- Commercial claims handling: Manage claims across Motor Fleet, Motor Trade and wider commercial insurance policies.

You'll ideally bring:
- Experience handling commercial insurance claims within a brokerage or insurer environment.
- Knowledge of Motor Fleet or Motor Trade claims, alongside an understanding of wider commercial insurance.
- The confidence to manage complex claims and communicate effectively with insurers, loss adjusters and clients.
- Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple claims and maintain accurate records.
- A proactive approach to resolving issues and achieving positive outcomes for clients.
