We’re looking for people to join an experienced and highly successful team of Underwriters who are passionate about our customers; so much so it drives every decision and action we take! We like to provide innovative, creative propositions to suit our customer’s needs and we pride ourselves on going above and beyond. Why? Simply put, we want to exceed all expectations by delivering a high-quality service that sets us apart from our competitors.

As an Underwriter, you’ll be analysing and underwriting our held business. This means you’ll be in a Market facing role, so it’s really important that you are great at communicating and have a built in passion for doing the right thing for our customers.

We’ll support and train you in all the technical aspects of the role and will make sure that you feel part of the team from day one.

This role is available part-time, job-share or full time, this is because we want the best people for our roles, and we recognise that sometimes those people aren’t available full-time. If this is you, please talk to us at interview about the flexibility you may need.

Well, you can expect no two days to be the same, you’ll be working with your team and reporting into the Business Manager as well as interacting with brokers and intermediaries daily.

We need you to provide a standout service experience for customers and stakeholders and be responsible for delivering quality and timely solutions for them. This means taking ownership of own workload and supporting colleagues to deliver our collective workload -it’s all about being a team player!

If you spot ways we can improve things or do them differently, we’d love you to tell us, that’s how we can boost effectiveness and efficiency of our processes.

You will have Property & Casualty Insurance experience though what we really need are your strengths and energy to come into play.

We will help you to extend your knowledge of the group risk market and products, as well as all the technical bits but you’ll already be a strong communicator who is happy making a decision.

We’d like you to be happy to challenge processes and decisions using your attention to detail. You’ll naturally adapt your style to different workloads and pressures and be able to think on your feet. Last but not least, organisation and the ability to prioritise is really key, the customer is always foremost on our minds!

As well as a competitive salary we also offer an excellent lifestyle benefits package which includes:
