Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Managing my portfolio of clients and handling settlement queries from reinsurers. I am in the specialty casualty claims team which means I deal with casualty and cyber claims. I help collate packs of data which we present in engagement meetings with clients and reinsurers.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoyed my programme but did find it stressful at times.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes definitely, I have developed my organisation skills as well as my public speaking skills via presentations etc. Managing my clients also required a lot of confidence and organisation.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It is well organised but feel like the level of communication around the road map of the scheme could be slightly clearer
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive a lot of support around my role development as well as exams
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
I receive support when needed, however, sometimes it is a slow process in order to get the support put in place.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I think it helps me perform better in my role as as a school leaver I had very limited knowledge of the industry so my qualification helped me build a base of knowledge. However, my role is within reinsurance and the study texts are very direct based
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Yes my company organise events such as next gen events and sports teams in order to expand our network
