(Typically, around the 6-month mark, depending on your individual development which includes quality and productivity metrics being met.) You’ll also have opportunities for salary increases upon becoming effective at your role and after 12 months of service.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Ensuring each customer feels valued and supported with their claim, providing them with personalised and accurate information based on your expertise and training.
