Frequently Asked Questions
A typical day involves processing medical claims from hospitals and clinics, verifying patient policy details, answering phone and email queries from both patients and healthcare providers, updating records on specialist insurance software, and liaising with underwriters on complex cases. It's a mix of customer service, data administration, and regulatory compliance, all focused on the private healthcare sector in Aberdeen and beyond.
While direct medical insurance experience is preferred, strong candidates with proven experience in other general insurance claims or customer service roles (e.g., motor, home, travel) are encouraged to apply. Your understanding of insurance principles, attention to detail, and customer service skills are highly transferable. We provide sector-specific training to bridge any knowledge gaps for the right candidate with a solid insurance foundation.
This position is primarily office-based in a central Aberdeen location (AB42 postcode area) to facilitate teamwork, access to physical documents, and direct training. The client may offer some hybrid flexibility after an initial training and probation period, but candidates should be prepared for full-time office attendance initially. We can discuss specific location details during the screening call.
You will initially be employed by Temping Agency on a temporary contract, typically for a 12-week probationary period. During this time, you are paid weekly by us. Both you and the client use this period to ensure the role is a good fit. Assuming performance is satisfactory, the client will then offer you a permanent contract directly with them, transferring you onto their payroll and full benefits package. Our team manages this entire process smoothly, just as we do for other sectors like logistics or temporary workforce placements.
This role is an excellent entry or progression point within the health insurance sector. With experience, you could progress to Senior Specialist, Team Leader, or Claims Manager positions. Other pathways include moving into underwriting, compliance, training, or provider relations. The client invests in professional development and often promotes from within. Temping Agency supports your long-term goals by connecting you with roles that have clear advancement potential.
