The Vacancy

Fun, rewarding and with the opportunity to develop and grow your career. That’s life with L&C Mortgages, the UK’s leading fee free mortgage and protection broker with over 160 awards to its name.

Join us and you’ll be part of a business that takes your progress seriously and wants you to enjoy being part of the L&C family. From ‘The Extra Mile’ colleague nominations – recognising those who go above and beyond, your birthday off and our fabulous Perkbox membership, this is a place that really gives back on the effort you put in.

Right now, we’re expanding our Team and bringing onboard new Trainee Protection Advisers on a REMOTE basis with a start date of the 9th February 2026. With this exciting new opportunity, we’ll coach and teach everything you need to know to flourish within the industry, supporting your growth and development whilst protecting our customers, all from the comfort of your own home.

If you're a keen sales savant with a passion for people and think you’d like to jump start a career in financial services to kick off the New Year, we’re on an exciting journey with no signs of slowing down so there’s never been a better time to join us, so get in touch today!

Uncertain times call for certain measures and, for L&C customers, they come in the form of protecting the things that matter most: their homes, families and lifestyles. But being a Protection Adviser during this ongoing period of uncertainty is not only about offering L&C customers a sense of reassurance, it’s also about having a role that offers you a steady career path with clear progression.

When talking to our customers, you’ll use your empathic ear to really listen to their concerns so that you can deliver the right kind of insurance. Often a customer might not know exactly what they need, so you’ll be advising them on options such as Critical Illness Insurance, Income Protection and Life Insurance, documenting your findings and recommendations throughout the process.

What’s also important is that you deliver that perfect balance of outstanding customer care, regulatory adherence and impressive workload efficiency to exceed your performance targets and KPIs. That will be achieved through eagle-eyed attention to detail, a warm and friendly approach that builds rapport and trust, and really understanding each customer’s needs.

Your employment within sales or customer service has already helped you to hone your listening skills and help consistently build that all important rapport with customers and support them based on their needs. Now you’re looking to really push your career to the next level, working hard for that all-important personal and professional development.

You’ll have developed these great personable skills already in a similar role within finance, or possibly within a different sector. Of course excellent communication skills are a must, to have these conversations with clients to develop policies and help protect what matters most, and keen organisation and IT skills to keep on top of your work independently, and really make the most of your bonus opportunities.

You’ll be a confident team player and equally self motivated, who loves the idea of developing and progressing within the industry by doing their best for every customer. You’ll be a great representative of the values of L&C – and that’s everything you’ll need to go far here.

We care about our customers, but our employees are what make the magic happen. We’re always ready to listen and do what we can to make L&C…
