Salary

£25,000

Key accountabilities

Alongside your studies, you will:

• Support the LMA claims team in delivering key initiatives and projects.
• Monitor, track and communicate progress against team objectives and committee activities, ensuring records are kept up to date.
• Contribute to projects by researching industry topics, preparing surveys and analysing results.

NB: Due to Apprenticeship regulations, we can only accept applicants who haven’t completed a qualification in the same field at the same or higher level to the course you are applying for.

The LMA have recently introduced two new online job simulations designed to showcase career opportunities in claims. Developed in partnership with Forage, these immersive simulations offer students a hands-on learning experience.

In order to apply for our apprenticeship, it is a requirement to complete the London Market Claims Operations Job Simulation: Start Free Programme

During the Forage programme, you will have the opportunity to step into the shoes of a professional in the claims operations team – the part of the insurance world that puts businesses and individuals back on their feet after disaster strikes. You will complete tasks that replicate how these professionals deliver the practical and financial support that can make all the difference in how well and how fast society, businesses and people recover when something goes wrong.

The LMA is not an insurance company, therefore this apprenticeship will not give you experience in the handling of claims. The LMA’s claims team provides leadership on strategic, technical and operational matters that impact the specialty insurance companies that it represents.

Application deadline: 21 March 2025

Please note that the next stage of this application process for successful candidates will involve an assessment centre, which will take place during the week commencing 31 March.
