The Opportunity:

The insurance business isn\'t just about claims - it\'s about relationships too.

It\'s in those moments that our members put their trust in us to provide the guidance they need to navigate their recovery. They aren\'t just looking for someone to process their claim; they are looking for someone they can count on to get them back to the quality of life they deserve.

We\'re looking for a Disability Claims Specialist who is interested in helping people. Who understands that no two cases are alike, and can achieve the goal - getting the member back to work.

  • We are a not-for-profit organization and our shareholders are the communities in which we operate. 13% of our net income goes back into our communities through the Medavie Health Foundation and our Building Healthy Communities program.
Qualifications:
  • Post-secondary university or a college degree completed in the health sciences or a related field
  • Three to five years equivalent experience in disability case management with another insurer or government agency, managing Short or Long Term Disability claims is an asset.
