Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The Vehicle Damage Assessor is responsible for inspecting vehicle damage and preparing accurate repair estimates in line with industry standards. They must coordinate with production teams to ensure efficient repair workflows and maintain high quality and safety standards.
Candidates should have relevant technical experience in an accident repair environment and a strong understanding of modern vehicle construction. Professional qualifications such as ATA or IMI-aligned competence are highly valued for this role.
The Vehicle Damage Assessor role at Solus is built around technical accuracy, consistency and professional judgement. From initial assessment through to repair planning, your decisions play a critical part in keeping repairs safe, efficient and fair for everyone involved.
Because Solus operates directly within an insurer group, our Vehicle Damage Assessors work with a wider level of authority and influence, allowing you to make informed decisions that support technicians, customers and repair quality without unnecessary delays or hand‑offs.
As a VDA, you’ll shape the repair journey from the outset, ensuring vehicles are assessed correctly and repairs are set up to be completed right first time.
You’ll:
This is a role where sound judgement and consistency matter as much as technical knowledge.
What matters most is that you bring relevant VDA or technical experience, along with a structured, quality‑first approach.
This may include:
We also recognise that strong VDAs come from a range of backgrounds. If you’ve developed deep technical understanding through another automotive role and are ready to move into assessment with the right support, we’re open to that progression.
No two Solus sites are the same, but our expectations are consistent. Working within an insurer‑owned repair group means our VDAs are trusted with a broader span of authority, enabling balanced decisions that keep repairs moving while maintaining high standards.
At Solus, you’ll find:
Solus, who are owned by Aviva, are one of the UK leaders in vehicle repairs, returning cars to the road in just 11 days on average and a 4.6/5 star customer rating. With an award-winning apprenticeship programme and winners of other recognised industry awards Solus are proud to be shaping the future of vehicle repair.
