Salary: £26,288 + Shift Allowance

Location: Home Working

We’re recruiting full-time Rescue Claims colleagues to join our night team. This role is 37.5 hours per week and follows a rotating shift pattern of 3 nights one week, 4 nights the next, offering a great work–life balance.

You’ll begin with 3 weeks of comprehensive training, delivered during daytime hours, to fully prepare you for success in the role.

If you’re looking for a stable, full-time night position with structured training and a supportive team environment, this could be a great next step.

What you’ll be doing:

As a Claims Handler within Green Flag Rescue Night Operations, you’ll be the first point of contact for customers experiencing a vehicle breakdown. You’ll play a vital role in supporting customers during what can be a stressful time, ensuring they feel reassured and informed from the very first call.

Your key responsibilities will be:

  • Handling inbound customer calls and acting as the first point of contact following a breakdown
  • Gathering accurate information to assess the situation, including location, vehicle details, and customer safety
  • Setting clear expectations and providing tailored guidance to customers
  • Coordinating and dispatching appropriate recovery assistance efficiently
  • Managing the initial stages of the breakdown claim through to resolution
  • Delivering a calm, empathetic, and professional service while working to performance targets

What you’ll need:

  • A customer‑focused mindset with a passion for delivering excellent service
  • Confidence handling calls in a fast‑paced, target‑driven environment
  • Strong communication skills with a clear and professional telephone manner
  • Ability to assess situations quickly and take appropriate action
  • Good IT skills and confidence using computer systems (Microsoft Outlook/Word beneficial)

Contact centre experience is beneficial but not essential. A full UK driving licence would be advantageous but is not required.

OUR PEOPLE

What our people are saying in Customer Service, Sales and Claims

Scroll for more…

In previous roles, I dealt with a much broader range of issues. Here, it’s much more focussed, detailed and logistically challenging.

My passion is investigation. It might sound boring to some people, but I wake up thinking about what I’m going to encounter that day.

Every day I get to help people going through difficult situations. It makes them happy, and it just gives me a good feeling.

I love helping people and solving problems for customers. It gives me satisfaction to know that I have made a difference to someone.
