Junior Commercial Account Handler
Job Description
Do you have 1 years plus commercial insurance broking experience, or are perhaps currently an Underwriting Assistant/Assistant Underwriter or claims and currently in commercial insurance with the same amount of experience? If so, then this is an opportunity we feel you cannot let pass you by and can offer the right person a career defining move working for a business whose aim is to look after, support and nurture all their staff. Now we wont bore you with a long list of duties, you’re already in insurance who knows what the job entails, so lets get straight down to what YOU want to know!
A forward-thinking Insurance Broker, based in Epsom are now seeking to grow their Account Handling team with the appointment of an Account Handler. It is a very sociable office with a work hard play hard ethos and the office is soon to be newly refurbished ‘London style’, so will offer a really nice surrounding to work in.
We were really impressed with what the Managing Director here had to say about them as a business and the fantastic opportunities they can offer someone you as an up and coming insurance professional here, offering you genuine progression opportunities (almost all of the current team have been promoted within the business at various stages.) as well as offering you true and unwavering support to help people thrive here. In short it seems they actually care about their staff, as your success means they are a success.
They offer 25 days holiday plus bank holidays to start, death in service after 6 months and have a flexible attitude to your work/life balance. If you have parental responsibilities they can be flexible around sports day, panto, parents evening, etc as they try to ensure staff do not miss milestones for their kids. If you haven’t got kids, they can still offer flexibility with regard to the odd early finish to get away for a weekend etc.
There are also some other call perks here, they provide 24/7 GP access – you can go via their life cover provider (after 6 months service) to help avoid GP waiting times as well as Medical second opinion cover – they have a service whereby staff can seek a medical second opinion if they are unhappy with a medical diagnosis – again this kicks in after 6 months service)
They are also currently looking at signing up to fizz benefits and so this would give various access to cashback and discounts for various things including cinema tickets and shopping too!
Job wise, this will be a standard Account Handling role, looking after a mix of clients from SME up to Corporate, handling renewals, new business quotes and supporting a team of Execs.
As above, we would be keen to speak to you if you have 1-2 years commercial broking experience or if you have gained the same time based experience at an insurer or MGA as an Underwriting Assistant/Assistant Underwriter.
In return, the salary on offer is up to £25-30k basic depending on experience with a company performance related bonus.
Working hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 to 5pm. At present, this role will be office based – so it’s important to note this, they have a sociable team and a need to work collaboratively and so you as a handler are central and crucial to that!
