Good written English and also numerate
Proficient computer skills relevant to Microsoft Office, Outlook, and web-based applications.
Insurance industry and claims experience would be a bonus, but are not essential. What would be equally useful (but again not essential) would be experience from the industry groups of our clients’ e.g. financial institutions and professions.
Experience of working with data. Intermediate (or above) excel skills preferred.
People specification. Some of the main requirements are:
Initiative.
To be both inquisitive and interested.

Considered thinking” is critical. Being able to understand the story of a claim (or any other event) is not dependent on years of experience or in depth knowledge. It is about reading, assimilation of facts, often some checking of facts/understanding on the internet and sometimes making some sensible assumptions. This then provides the foundations for good analysis of that claim/event.
This needs to be coupled with a desire to want to understand something. If someone has got the drive then you can figure out 90% of the necessary information from that alone.
Unfortunately these last two are both difficult to teach/instil or to identify as a skill in a candidate.
