What you can expect

At NFU Mutual, we’re more than just an insurance company — we’re a mutual, owned by our members and driven by doing what’s right for our customers and communities. With over 100 years of trust and award-winning service, we pride ourselves on building genuine relationships and providing personal, face-to-face advice through our UK-wide Agency Network.

Join our South East Regional Team, the largest and most commercially driven region at NFU Mutual. You’ll gain hands-on experience supporting our local Agencies to grow their businesses, deliver exceptional customer experiences, and shape the future of insurance.

In this role, you’ll learn how to build relationships, manage leads, and support sales activity using tools like Excel, Linked In, and CRM systems, as well speaking directly to people over the phone. You’ll help turn conversations into results, contribute to marketing campaigns, and share success stories across our network.

With full training, ongoing support, and the chance to earn a recognised qualification, this is an ideal opportunity to start a rewarding career in a business known for its collaboration, integrity, and success.

If you’re curious, motivated, and ready to learn — we’ll give you everything you need to grow.

This is a hybrid role. You’ll join the South East Regional Team in London every Monday—always at a location close to a tube station for easy access. Depending on where you’re based, you may also spend time at other regional offices such as Cobham. For the rest of the week, you’ll work from home, so you’ll need to be comfortable managing your time independently but you’ll still get all the support you need from us.

You’ll also have one dedicated study day each week to focus on your apprenticeship qualification.

Your future

In your first weeks, you’ll focus on learning the ropes- getting to know NFU Mutual’s processes, meeting your team, and understanding the type of work you’ll be involved with. As your confidence grows, you’ll take on more responsibility, shadowing experienced team members and building your skills in lead management, customer engagement, and campaign support.

You’ll receive ongoing support from your manager, mentor, and a dedicated programme lead, ensuring you have everything you need to succeed. We’ll encourage your professional development, helping you build confidence and skills to work towards more technical tasks such as generating and providing quotes to our customers.

Application process

We keep things simple and supportive. First, complete a brief online application form. If shortlisted, you’ll complete a short online assessment and have a friendly chat with one of our Talent Acquisition team to learn more about the role and share your experience. The final stage is an in-person skills based interview and role based exercise at one of our London locations.

Please note this role is not eligible for visa sponsorship as it does not fulfil the criteria set by the Home Office.

This role is known internally as General Insurance Lead Generator.

This vacancy may close early depending on application volumes, so we recommend applying as soon as possible!

What we're looking for

We’re not expecting you to have lots of experience—that’s what the apprenticeship is for—but we are looking for you to be proactive, curious, and keen to learn. You will have achieved three GCSEs at grade 4/C or above, including English and Maths. You…
