What being a Travel Claims adviser involves 

Learn from our extensive range of training. Benefit from our brand new systems. But most of all, put your life experience to good use, helping resolve issues that mean a great deal to our customers. 
When an important part of a customer's life has been compromised, it’s you they’ll speak to. It’s you who’ll handle their travel insurance claim, resolve any issues, listen out for all-important details and reassure them. It’s also you who’ll keep them up-to-date throughout the whole claim. Our training will give you guidance. Our systems will lead you through the process. But it’ll be your personality and life experience that makes all the difference.
