PERSONAL INJURY SENIOR MANAGER (TECHNICAL CLAIMS)

Our client is one of the most successful personal personal injury law firms in the country, with a huge presence in the Yorkshire region. It now has an exciting new opening, arising out of growth, for a senior personal injury fee-earner to take on senior manager role in the Technical Claims team. This would equate to head of department role.

As a Senior Manager within the Technical Claims department you will have a predominantly non-fee-earning role. You will be responsible for the day-to-day operational performance and delivery of a group of Technical Claims teams dealing predominantly with RTA claims, but also EL/PL. You will be responsible for driving your team's financial and quality performance, developing, implementing and delivering successful strategic and business plans and building and maintaining relationships with both internal and external stakeholders.

You will ensure all aspects of compliance and regulation are understood and upheld throughout the operation. You will be responsible for managing risk and dealing with complicated technical issues and complaints. You will also ensure all KPIs are embedded into the day-to-day operation and be responsible for conducting monthly 1:1's and staff performance reviews.

The firm is looking for an experienced personal injury fee-earner with supervisory and managerial experience. You will have expertise in handling highly technical queries but will now be looking to move away from fee-earning and concentrate on what are, essentially, partner or head of department duties. This is a great move for ambitious personal injury fee-earners looking for something different.

If you are interested in this personal injury senior manager role and would like more information, please contact Terry Cape on ... (t), ... (m) or ... .

Please note that CapeClarke advertisements use PQE levels purely as a guide to the level of experience required for the role and this does not prohibit applications from candidates who are able to demonstrate the necessary skills and experience.
