This well-known national broking firm has earned an excellent reputation for its friendly, supportive and collaborative working environment, where people genuinely enjoy working together. It's also a business that places great importance on developing its people, recognising those who show initiative, take ownership of their work and have the ambition to progress their careers.

This approach has served the firm well; at all levels colleagues feel supported, recognised and that their contribution matters. As a result, the firm is outpacing its rivals nationally, as well as those more locally in the North East. Employee and client satisfaction surveys are “through the roof”, and the company has obtained a much-deserved reputation for being a ‘go to’ employer in the local market.

It is as a result of this organic growth, coupled with the acquisition of quality new business, that the need has arisen for an additional Commercial / Corporate Account Handler to join the team in a senior capacity. We welcome applications from experienced insurance professionals who seek either a managerial position, or one with no line management responsibilities, whilst still acting as a technical referral point for less-experienced colleagues and having a meaningful say in the future direction of the branch.

Working in close conjunction with the Regional Management Team and Account Executives, you will play a key part in the day-to-day management of a diverse portfolio of accounts. This will comprise some of the region’s largest and most complex risks, typically in excess of £20K income, and occasionally multiples of this. Clients will be from a range of industry sectors and require all common commercial covers.

This will include compiling a variety of reports and documentation, scrutinising clients’ existing arrangements and ensuring gaps in cover are mitigated, as well as negotiating with insurers to obtain the most comprehensive cover at competitive premiums.

It is essential that you have a sound understanding of all common commercial covers, strong communication and organisational skills, together with a keen eye for detail. You must also have the kind of drive and willingness to take ownership of any task, if it means being able to deliver excellent client service.

This role comes with a high degree of flexibility, and you can work from home several days per week, as well as having your pick from several offices in the region to be based out of.

In return, you will receive a generous basic salary, and a comprehensive benefits package alongside a myriad of opportunities for progression.
