Adviser

We are an award-winning specialist life and health insurance broker. At Howden we pride ourselves on doing the heavy lifting. We work with a selected panel of insurers, making the comparison of multiple policies simple and easy. We provide a personalised service, focused on gaining a deep understanding of what our clients want from their insurance cover. Our continued growth has created several opportunities within our Renewals Sales Team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for you if you are looking for a career within the financial services industry and a fresh challenge. Excellent customer service is essential, along with a drive to excel against targets. A problem‑solving mindset is key to success in the role. Resilience to stay motivated despite rejections and challenging conversations is a must. Any previous sales experience would be beneficial but is not critical.

We offer full training and a structured career pathway to allow you to learn all about us, our products and our ways of working. If you are in the retail industry, an alternative sales environment or have recently left education but believe you have the skills we are looking for, we would love to hear from you.
