Stuck in retail, hospitality, or sales, and looking for an office-based career with real progression and professional qualifications?

We are a close-knit, high-energy independent insurance brokerage looking for ambitious, people-focused individuals to join our team. We don't expect you to know anything about insurance-we care about your personality, drive, and communication skills, and we'll teach you the rest.

What's in It for You?

• Earn While You Learn: A competitive starting salary of £26,500 - £33,000, with clear milestones for pay increases.
• Fully Funded Professional Qualifications: We pay for you to gain your Cert CII (Chartered Insurance Institute) professional credentials, boosting your market value.
• Real Career Progression: This isn't just a phone job. You'll get a 360-degree understanding of personal lines, commercial insurance, and client management.
• Solid Work-Life Balance: Standard Monday to Friday hours (with just one Saturday shift a month) so you still have your weekends.
• Great Team Culture: Work in a supportive, friendly environment where your wins are actually celebrated (no corporate micromanagement here).

What You'll Be Doing:

• Talking to clients every day, building genuine rapport, and finding the right insurance policies to protect what matters to them.
• Guiding customers through quotes, renewals, and policy updates over the phone and via email.
• Keeping accurate digital records and managing client portfolios with attention to detail.
• Collaborating with the team to hit collective milestones and earn bonus/incentive rewards.

About You:

• People Person: You're confident, chatty, and naturally good at building trust with anyone.
• Ambitious & Driven: You want a long-term professional career path, not just a stepping-stone job.
• Organised & Tech-Savvy: Comfortable navigating computer systems and keeping track of details.
• Ready to Learn: Willing to study for professional qualifications (good GCSEs, including Maths, are helpful here!).
