About the role

We’re seeking a Customer Support Adviser to join the NFU Mutual Cobham team. This is more than a traditional customer service role. You’ll support a high-net-worth customer base and deliver a personal, professional service across email, telephone and face-to-face channels. You’ll begin with customer emails and policy administration, including accurately updating customer and vehicle details, before developing into telephone support, welcoming walk-in customers and handling more complex insurance products as your knowledge grows.

Whether you have previous insurance experience or not, you’ll receive full product training and support from experienced colleagues. You’ll learn how to work confidently with regulated insurance products and, as your capability grows, so will the variety and complexity of the work you can take on.

There is genuine opportunity to build a long-term career with us. A current Customer Support Adviser has progressed into a Senior Customer Support Adviser role, demonstrating the development available to people who are keen to learn, take initiative and grow their expertise.

The Cobham agency has a strong community spirit and takes an active role in local events. You’ll join a close-knit, collaborative team where everyone supports shared priorities, from customer calls and post to wider office activities, and where your contribution will be visible and valued.

About you

You’re a warm and professional customer service colleague who understands that great service and attention to detail go hand in hand. You’ll be confident communicating by email, telephone and face to face, adapting your style to each customer while remaining calm and composed. Experience in insurance, financial services or a premium or high-net-worth customer environment would be helpful, but it is your customer service experience, accuracy and enthusiasm for learning that matter most.

• Previous customer service experience gained by telephone, face to face or through another relevant channel - essential

• Excellent attention to detail and a consistent approach to accurate data entry

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to adapt your style to the customer
