As a result of the exciting growth within Zurich Corporate Risk, we are looking for an experienced Income Protection and Critical Illness Claims Case Manager to join us on a permanent basis. Customer service is so important to us so if you share our passion for putting customers first, we would love to hear from you!

Many of our employees work flexibly in a variety of different ways, including part-time, flexible hours, job share, an element of working from home or compressed hours. This is because we want the best people for our roles, and we recognise that sometimes those people aren’t available full-time. Please talk to us at interview about the flexibility you may need.

As the Claims Case Manager, you will provide expert claims assessment and management to our portfolio of Group Income Protection and Group Critical Illness Claims. You will build trust-based relationships with a portfolio of customers and be required to manage your own caseload of claims.

You will assess new claim notifications and conduct proactive reviews of claims in payment, liaising with our Rehabilitation Team where needed. You will provide robust and sensitive technical claims management, including information gathering over the telephone with all parties as well as requesting and assessing claims evidence, to ultimately enable decision making and reviews. Some cases will require you to communicate effectively and sensitively with vulnerable customers, which may also necessitate some difficult conversations.

• Claims management experience (Group IP and CI)
• CII Claims qualifications (but this isn’t essential)
• A passion for customers and driving through Continuous Improvement
• Ability to cope with varying workloads, pressures, and priorities
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to quickly establish professional and effective working relationships with your customers
• Able to communicate effectively and sensitively with vulnerable customers, which may also necessitate some difficult conversations
• Excellent judgement and decision-making skills
• Personal contribution into our positive and supportive team culture
• Excellent attention to detail, with strong focus on quality and root cause analysis

Everyone’s different. That’s why at Zurich, we offer a wide range of employee benefits so our people can choose what fits them and their life. Our benefits provide real flexibility so our people can make considered choices and tailor their benefits throughout the year. Our benefits include 12% defined non-contributory pension scheme, annual company bonus, private medical insurance and the option to buy up to an additional 20 days or sell some of your holiday, alongside a range of other flexible benefits.

You can find out more about our wide range of employee benefits on our website.

At Zurich we aspire to be one of the most responsible and impactful businesses in the world. Together, we’re creating a brighter future for our customers, our people and our planet.

With over 65,000 employees, you’ll feel the support of being part of a strong and stable company that is a long-standing player in the insurance industry.

We’ve made a promise to each other and every employee: to focus on sustainable impact, to care about each other’s wellbeing, to use our diverse expertise to be curious and optimistic and to develop the skills needed for our future.

If you’re interested in working in a dynamic and challenging environment where your creativity, ideas and contributions are recognised and rewarded, Zurich could be just the place for you. Be part of something great.

At Zurich, our strength comes from the diverse experiences, perspectives and talents of our people. Our goal is to create a workplace where every employee can flourish and where everyone feels valued, heard and respected.
