About the job area:
We're a team that's passionate about leading the healthcare insurance market and improving wellbeing for all.
We take immense pride in our work, working together with determination and focus. Delivering care that our 2.2 million customers can count on, from experts they trust.
Role overview:
Day-to-day, you'll investigate escalated complaints and weigh up the evidence to decide a fair outcome for the customer. This will include speaking to customers, listening to calls, reviewing documents, and referring specialist subject matter – such as medical reports – to appropriate teams for assessment.
What you'll do:
You'll need to be able to empathise with customers and see things from their point of view, then compare what they've said to the evidence available to you.
If we've done something wrong, you might need to apologise to a customer, pay a claim or offer some compensation – and you'll be responsible for choosing the right option.
Once you've finished investigating, you'll speak to customers on the phone to deliver your resolution and follow up with a letter to confirm the details.
What you'll bring:
Excellent communication skills – both verbal and written – are a must.
You'll also need good problem-solving skills, a keen eye for detail and the ability to analyse evidence objectively.
You'll manage your own workload, so you'll need to be organised and able to prioritise your cases.
You'll be working in an FCA-regulated environment, so good regulatory knowledge and past experience of handling complaints and providing great customer service is essential.
You must have past experience of dealing with or knowledge of the Financial Ombudsman Service also.
