We’re looking for case managers to join our Co-op Legal Services probate team. You don’t need legal experience for this role, as we’ll provide full training to get you up to speed.

In this role, you'll provide legal and administrative support to our customers following a bereavement. We’ll look to you to manage each case from beginning to end, discussing the estate of the deceased, and keeping in continuous contact with the customer. You’ll make a real difference to customers lives at a time when they need us most, and as a growing business we’re passionate about developing our colleagues. So, if you have the skills we need, we can offer you an exciting opportunity to build a rewarding career with us.

What you’ll do

• take ownership of your own caseload
• work closely with customers (via phone or in writing), taking an empathetic approach given their recent circumstances
• deliver on internal targets and service levels that drive the best possible outcomes for our customers
• use a case management system to help manage your work, making sure it’s always accurate and up to date
• work collaboratively with the team, sharing ideas and learning from colleagues to support your development
• engage with third parties, in particular financial institutions, and government bodies
• prepare the forms and documents required to keep cases moving forward and keep track of financial transactions

This role would suit people who have

• a solid background in non-retail customer service and/or experience with managing cases/claims end-to-end
• excellent customer service skills with the ability to put the customer’s interests at the heart of what you do
• great organisational skills; you’re able to manage your own workload and prioritise
• great communication skills, both verbal and written
• a keen eye for detail and accuracy
• emotional resilience and the ability to be professional even in difficult situations; you understand the difference between sympathy and empathy
• a willingness to learn with a passion for self-development
