We are partnering with a large organisation to recruit a Claims Assessment Advisor to assess complex claims, predominantly involving mental injuries.

This role combines investigation, analysis and decision-making with thoughtful communication. You will work through sensitive circumstances, weigh evidence objectively and deliver clear, well-reasoned decisions while supporting positive recovery and return-to-work outcomes.

About the role

You will take ownership of liability assessment, engaging with individuals, employers and treating providers to understand each claim and reach a fair, timely outcome.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Assessing and determining liability for complex claims, with a focus on mental injuries.
- Reviewing medical evidence, factual reports and workplace information to establish the circumstances of each claim.
- Applying relevant legislation and policy to make evidence-based decisions that can withstand external review, dispute or regulatory scrutiny.
- Clearly documenting your reasoning and communicating decisions professionally and empathetically, including adverse outcomes.
- Supporting early recovery and return-to-work opportunities through proactive stakeholder engagement.
- Managing competing priorities while maintaining accuracy, sound judgement and sensitivity to individual circumstances.

About you

You bring experience assessing complex claims and the confidence to make considered decisions when the information or circumstances are challenging.

You will demonstrate:

- Strong analytical skills and the ability to evaluate evidence from multiple sources.
- Experience interpreting and applying legislation, policy or insurance terms.
- Clear written communication, with the ability to explain and substantiate your decisions.
- Empathy and professionalism when working with vulnerable people and sensitive information.
- Confidence navigating difficult conversations and engaging with a range of stakeholders.
- Resilience, organisation and a commitment to fair and consistent outcomes.
