Claims Handler

Claims handler recruitment specialists connecting skilled insurance professionals with leading insurers, brokers and claims management organisations across the UK.

At Lawes Consulting Group, we place Claims Handlers who combine technical knowledge, customer focus and the ability to manage claims efficiently and fairly from first notification through to settlement.

Claims Handler Recruitment Expertise

Claims Handlers are the frontline professionals of the insurance industry, responsible for managing the claims process on behalf of policyholders and ensuring that claims are handled accurately, efficiently and in line with policy terms and regulatory requirements. It is a role that demands a strong combination of technical knowledge, communication skills and the ability to manage multiple cases simultaneously under pressure.

At Lawes Consulting Group, we recruit Claims Handlers across a wide range of classes and environments, from personal lines and commercial claims through to specialist and high-value claims. We work with insurers, brokers, third-party administrators and specialist claims management organisations, placing candidates at all levels from entry-level Claims Handlers through to Senior Claims Handlers and Claims Team Leaders.

Technical Knowledge and Customer Outcomes

The regulatory environment for claims handling has become increasingly demanding, with a strong focus on customer outcomes, fair treatment and transparent communication. The best Claims Handlers combine solid technical knowledge of policy coverage and claims processes with genuine empathy and the ability to guide customers through what is often a stressful experience. We assess candidates on both dimensions, ensuring that every placement reflects the standards your organisation and your customers expect.

A Wide Range of Claims Environments

Claims handling roles vary significantly depending on the class of business and the type of organisation. In a direct insurer environment, the focus may be on high-volume personal lines claims; in a specialist broker or Lloyd's market context, the work may involve more complex, lower-frequency commercial or specialty claims. We understand these differences and match candidates to the right environment based on their experience, skills and career aspirations.
