Salary: £25,000 - £33,000 (Depending on experience)

Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent

Hours: Mon–Fri (8:30 AM – 5:00 PM) + Alternate Saturdays (8:30 AM – 12:00 PM, with time off in lieu!)

Looking to launch a meaningful career with real earning potential, but don’t have industry experience?

Insurance isn't just about spreadsheets; it’s about protecting people, businesses, and futures. We are a small, high-energy, and supportive brokerage in Taunton looking for our next team member. No insurance experience needed—we will fund your qualifications and train you from the ground up.

What’s In It For You?

• Earn While You Learn: A competitive starting salary up to £33k as you progress.
• Fully Funded Qualifications: We will pay for and support you through your CII (Chartered Insurance Institute) qualifications—a massive boost for your CV.
• Clear Career Pathway: Learn the ropes across personal, commercial, and claims insurance, giving you a 360-degree understanding of the business.
• Culture: Work within a close-knit, friendly team that actually celebrates your wins.

The Role (What you’ll actually be doing)

Instead of being just a cog in a machine, you’ll be hands-on helping our clients navigate life’s big decisions. You will:

• Consult with clients to understand their needs and match them with the perfect policy.
• Manage client portfolios, ensuring all digital records and documentation are spot-on.
• Collaborate with the team to smash team goals and personal milestone targets.
• Become an industry expert by participating in interactive training and development sessions.

Who You Are

We hire for attitude, not a piece of paper. You’ll be a great fit if you are:

• A Natural Communicator: You love chatting with people, building rapport, and explaining things clearly.
• Ambitious & Eager: You want a career, not just a 9-to-5 job.
• Detail-Oriented: You take pride in your work and notice the little things.
• Tech-Savvy: Comfortable with standard tech (Microsoft Office) and ready to learn new platforms quickly.
• Note: A good standard of education (like GCSE Maths) is preferred to help with the CII coursework.
