  • Proven experience managing complex and long‑term IP cases

  • Strong technical knowledge of Group Risk products and policy interpretation

  • A good understanding of long‑term medical conditions, NHS pathways and rehabilitation processes

  • Experience using claims management systems and functional assessments

  • Confident written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain decisions clearly

  • A collaborative approach, with a genuine interest in coaching and sharing knowledge

What we offer

  • A competitive salary plus performance‑based bonus (8.5%)

  • We operate a flexible working model, including fully remote options for candidates who live beyond a reasonable commuting distance from our offices.

  • Pension scheme

  • Life assurance, private medical and income protection cover

  • A wide range of wellbeing benefits, including:

    • Remote GP and second medical opinion

    • Nutrition coaching and personal training

    • Unlimited mental health support

  • 27 days’ holiday, plus bank holidays, with the option to buy or sell up to 5 days
