Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

With a no limits approach, we can rise to any challenge. Whatever the question, the concern, or the risk, we can get the right people in a room and find the right answer. Our collective power is also helping us to change the insurance narrative - doing right by our clients while using insurance as a tool to build resilience for individuals, businesses, and communities. From pro bono work to insuring COVID-19 vaccine development to de-risking the carbon market, we're using our skills, knowledge, and networks to make a difference and speed positive change in the world around us.

We are actively looking for an Insurance Advisor to join our Howden Consumer & Local Commercial team. This is a great opportunity to join a highly successful organisation, where you will be provided with full training on the job and the opportunity to gain industry recognised qualifications.

About you:

• You enjoy having conversations with people, listening, and building relationships, as it's important that we really get to know our clients and understand their requirements.
• You possess excellent problem-solving skills — all of our clients are unique, so we need to come up with tailored solutions, as we don't have a "one size fits all" approach.
• You might currently be working in a sales role and are now seeking a career change. We don't require previous experience, as we offer on-site training, workshops, coaching, and support through industry qualifications.
• You have a passion and entrepreneurial mindset. Many of our most successful business opportunities have come from team members passionate about specific subjects — whether that's equine insurance, campervans, motorhomes, classic cars, motorbikes, marine, fine art, etc. Loving what you do means you will be knowledgeable, able to build rapport quickly, and provide clients with the best solutions.
• You are ambitious. We promote from within; everyone in a leadership position started as an Insurance Advisor. We provide all the tools; all we ask is your desire to succeed.

Rewards:

We believe that great work and dedication should be rewarded, which is why we offer:

• 22 days holiday (plus bank holidays), increasing with length of service
• A set of core benefits designed with your health and financial protection in mind:
  • Life Assurance up to 4x salary, protecting your loved ones in case the worst should happen
  • Income protection, guaranteeing an income for up to 5 years in case of illness or injury
  • Contributory pension scheme - 4% employer contribution and 5% employee contribution, rising to 5% & 5% in April 2025
  • Access to a Healthcare Cashplan, providing various health-related benefits
• Access to lifestyle and financial benefits of your choice:
  • Discounts on gym memberships across the UK
  • Salary sacrifice schemes — Travel Insurance, Cycle to Work, Car leasing, Technology purchase
  • Access to discounted insurance policies through Howden
  • Discounts at hundreds of high-street retailers
