Claims Handler – Personal Injury

Are you working in motor claims and ready to develop your Personal Injury experience?

We’re recruiting for a Personal Injury Claims Handler to join a growing insurance team in Bolton. This role would suit someone with a motor claims background who wants to build their PI knowledge, handle their own caseload and progress in a structured, supportive environment.

You don’t need to be a senior PI specialist for this role. If you have solid claims experience, strong attention to detail and the right attitude, you’ll be given the support to develop.

What you’ll be doing

As a Personal Injury Claims Handler, you’ll manage a caseload of low to mid-complexity PI claims, with support where needed. You’ll handle claims professionally, investigate liability and keep all parties updated as the claim progresses.

Your role will include:

Managing your own caseload of Personal Injury claims
Handling claims from notification through to settlement
Carrying out liability investigations
Gathering evidence and reviewing claim information
Prioritising your workload effectively
Liaising with customers, insurers, solicitors and internal teams
Keeping all parties updated clearly and professionally
Recording accurate notes on claims systems
Supporting good customer outcomes
Developing your technical claims knowledge over time
What we’re looking for

This role is ideal for someone with motor claims experience who wants to move further into Personal Injury claims.

You’ll need:

Motor claims experience
Personal Injury claims exposure would be beneficial but is not essential
Strong communication and customer service skills
Good attention to detail
Confidence using computer systems
The ability to manage a busy caseload
Strong organisation and prioritisation skills
GCSE English and Maths at Grade C/4 or above, or equivalent
A willingness to work towards CII qualifications

Full support is available for professional qualifications.

What’s on offer
Salary from £25,000 to £40,000 depending on PI exposure and CII progress
Monday to Friday, 9am – 5pm
35-hour working week
Permanent, full-time role
Support with CII and industry qualifications
Holiday allowance increasing with service
Birthday day off
Seasonal shopping half-day
Holiday buy/sell scheme
Contributory pension
Staff discounts and social events
Free on-site parking

Cash bonus scheme
On-site mental health and first aid support
