At the Co‑op, you'll be trusted to do the right thing for our clients—and supported to build a rewarding career with earning potential you can control.

Why this job matters

As a Sales Consultant you'll be helping people in the hour of need. You don't need legal experience. What matters most is how you talk to people, how you listen, and how you guide clients towards the right outcome for them. There's no cold calling, clients come to us because they trust the Co‑op, and you'll receive full training and ongoing support from experienced colleagues. Every conversation is an opportunity to give someone clarity and support when they need it most.

• Understand their circumstances and what matters most to them.
• Explain probate and estate administration services in clear, simple terms.
• Help clients decide whether our services are right for them.
• Manage your work using modern digital systems.
• Work towards agreed KPIs, supported by a close‑knit remote team.

What you'll bring

• Experience in consultative sales or a customer‑focused role.
• The ability to discuss sensitive topics with empathy and care.
• A willingness to learn and develop new skills.
• The confidence to explain things clearly without jargon.
• Motivation driven by doing a good job and caring for our clients, not just hitting a number.
• A commitment to working for an organisation that is dedicated to supporting our clients.
