Due to a period of exceptional growth our teams are expanding which means we can offer this great opportunity.

We make health happen.

Bupa is the UK’s biggest health insurance provider and official Healthcare Partner to Paralympics GB. We are a family of thousands and growing. Brave, committed and compassionate people, all driven by the same purpose – helping people live longer, healthier, happier lives and making a better world. 

We have no shareholders to answer to; our customers are our sole focus. And we reinvest our profits into providing them with better healthcare, now and in the future. 

What you'll be doing

You’ll need to be able to empathise with customers and see things from their point of view, then compare what they’ve said to the evidence available to you. 

If we’ve done something wrong, you might need to apologise to a customer, pay a claim or offer some compensation – and you’ll be responsible for choosing the right option.  

Once you’ve finished investigating, you’ll speak to customers on the phone to deliver your resolution and follow up with a letter to confirm the details. 

Key Skills / Qualifications needed for this role:

*You must have past experience of dealing with complaints and knowledge of the Ombudsman Services and industry regulators.*

You’ll be working in an FCA-regulated environment so past experience of handling complaints and providing great customer service is essential. 

Excellent communication skills – both verbal and written – are a must and these will be assessed as part of the interview process. 

You’ll also need good problem-solving skills, a keen eye for detail and the ability to analyse evidence objectively. 

You’ll manage your own workload, so you’ll need to be organised and able to prioritise your cases.
