Joining us as an Insurance Account Handler means you'll have the benefit of working Monday to Friday (no weekends here!) earn a basic salary relative to your experience as well as a generous bonus structure. You’ll also be rewarded with all the great benefits of working with the UKs largest independent Insurance Brokers. More on that below. We are open to hearing from people from all different backgrounds, so speak to us about our hybrid and flexible ways of working for our Account Handlers, if the 9-5 life isn’t for you.
