The Role – Graduate Loss Adjuster:

As a graduate loss adjuster, you’ll learn how to manage a caseload of either domestic or commercial claims from visiting customers at their home or business, to helping them recover from loss or damage and finally settling each claim.

Imagine yourself stepping into people’s lives during some of their most unsettling moments, a burst pipe that damaged a kitchen, a fire that scorched business premises or a roof damaged by storm. You’ll be there, the calming presence amidst the chaos, then returning to your desk at Sedgwick surrounded by your colleagues, to deliver a plan to get them back to normal.

The first year of our two-year graduate programme will give you the skills and knowledge to achieve all this. You’ll be part of a team with dedicated technical and leadership support. The programme is perfect for detail-oriented problem solvers with a passion for helping others, who crave variety and want to build a rewarding career.

Year two is an elective year with the opportunity to apply everything you’ve learned in immersive training in two of our specialty products including investigations, surveying, high net worth, construction & engineering and environmental adjusting.

We’ll support you throughout with a dedicated programme manager, career mentor and investment to gain industry qualifications. The programme could be a catalyst to reach the very pinnacle of our company.

Successful candidates may also have the opportunity to participate in rotations with Sedgwick colleagues overseas.

Required for this role – Graduate Loss Adjuster:

• Degree in one of the following: Law, Construction, STEM, Business or Criminology.  This is a graduate opportunity.
• A full UK driving licence: It’s essential you can travel by car.
• Ability to travel: When we’re busy, we may need you to support colleagues elsewhere in the UK, and occasional programme development activity could be in any of our UK offices  .
• Excellent communication skills: You’ll speak with and write to customers, Insurers, contractors and more, explaining complex details clearly, and negotiating fair settlements for all.
• Problem-solving abilities: You should be able to identify and solve problems efficiently.
• Time management: As an adjuster, you’ll handle multiple claims simultaneously and plan your own week so you need to be able to manage your time, prioritise tasks and meet deadlines.
