Job description

Commercial Insurance Broker – Leeds or York (Hybrid)

Salary: up to £40,000

Hybrid working available after probation

This role has been created as part of continued growth within a well‑established, independent brokerage that has been operating for over 20 years. The business has a strong local presence and prides itself on offering straightforward, personal advice to both commercial and private clients.

They are flexible on location and are happy for someone to be based from either the Leeds or York office. The focus is on finding the right person for the team rather than filling a seat.

What You’ll Be Walking Into

A broad, hands‑on commercial broking role where you’ll be involved across the full policy lifecycle. You’ll manage client relationships, handle renewals, support new business, and work directly with insurers to secure the right cover at the right terms.

The client base is varied and includes business, fleet, property, and equestrian risks. Some cases are straightforward, others more involved, which makes this a good role for someone who enjoys variety and developing their technical knowledge.

You’ll be advising clients, negotiating with insurers, ensuring policies are set up correctly, and making sure everything is compliant and properly documented. Claims support is also part of the role, giving you full exposure to the client journey.

The Type of Person This Suits

This role will suit someone who already has experience in commercial insurance and wants a stable, long‑term position within an independent brokerage.

They are looking for someone who:

• Has experience working in a commercial insurance brokerage
• Is confident managing client relationships and day‑to‑day broking tasks
• Enjoys speaking with clients and insurers
• Is organised, proactive, and comfortable juggling different priorities
• Has a good understanding of risk and coverage
• Has used Acturis or is happy to pick it up quickly

CII qualifications are welcomed but not essential, and support is available for further development.

What’s on Offer

• Salary up to £40,000 depending on experience
• Choice of Leeds or York office
• Hybrid working after probation
• A varied commercial role across multiple sectors
• Supportive, experienced team
• Long‑standing independent brokerage with a personal approach
