What It's Like To Work Here

The insurance function forms part of the Trust's Risk & Assurance team and is committed to providing a high-quality, professional service to colleagues across the organisation.

The role offers the opportunity to work with a diverse range of colleagues and activities, applying your insurance expertise to support positive outcomes and help ensure the Trust's insurance arrangements continue to meet the organisation's evolving needs.

Working closely with the Senior Insurance Manager, colleagues, insurers, brokers and other partners, you'll support the delivery of the Trust's insurance programme, including renewals, claims, disclosures and supplier insurance arrangements. You'll help maintain effective insurance governance through oversight, compliance, assurance and reporting, while providing practical insurance advice that helps colleagues understand risks and make informed decisions.
