Being a growing SME, there is a vibrant entrepreneurial environment where everyone’s views and opinions are taken seriously, allowing everyone to contribute to the growth and success of the company. We're a team and have an excellent culture of looking after and supporting each other.

About the role

You will work in a team alongside existing Employee Benefits Administrators to provide support to our team and Employee Benefits Consultants, who provide advice to clients on group income protection insurance, group life insurance (death in service), group health insurances (private medical, dental, cashplans etc.) and group (DC) pensions. You will also work closely with clients and insurers.
