Job description

This is an exciting and very good time to be joining one of the UK's most progressive and professional insurance companies operating in the UK today.

There are 2 roles within the Reading branch at the moment where they are seeking experienced underwriters, where some flexible homeworking would be supported and maybe 1 to 2 days a week being in the office or less.

The first is a Senior Mid-Market Existing Business Underwriter. You will be required to handle a portfolio of an existing portfolio, where you will have a strong underwriting background and be used to dealing with complex cases and being the go-to person dealing with referrals. The key objective is to focus on profitable growth, and retaining your existing renewal portfolio, whilst maintaining excellent service standards at all times and building long standing customer relationships. Salary is up to and around £45k plus excellent benefits.

The 2nd role is a Mid-Market New business where you will be required to develop business and be an effective trader, building strong relationships with the broker panel and you’ll need to be proactive in your approach. Salary is up to and around £36k plus excellent benefits.

For both roles, the right candidate will be extremely approachable, confident and capable of delivering outstanding levels of service both internally and externally, over the telephone and face to face, as the role will encompass a range of external customer meetings. You will need be visible in the market on a frequent basis and ideally have some existing broker relationships which can be utilised. 

Everyone has the opportunity to join this organisation and reach their full potential, regardless of their background, personal circumstances or the role that they began their insurance career in.
