About the role
As NFU Mutual’s business portfolio continues to grow and evolve—particularly across high‑net‑worth and complex commercial risks—we’re seeing even more customers seeking cover for risks that go beyond our traditional core specialisms.
Our Wholesale Broking and Outplacement team work with the open market to find solutions that keep customers protected, all while ensuring they continue to receive the personal, trusted NFU Mutual customer service they value. Our unique and increasingly popular market proposition is one that’s growing in strategic importance, providing exciting career opportunities for ambitious Insurance Professionals.
Just over 100 people work with us here in Wholesale Broking and Outplacement Services and, it’s fair to say, our remit is a varied and very important one. We work on an unusually wide range of insurance subject matter, from Complex Casualty to Financial Risk, Marine Hull to Animal Disease.
We have seen year on year growth which has led to the need to recruit an additional handler to work in our Mid Corporate Team. We are a busy, friendly and service orientated department and we’re looking for someone with a Commercial Insurance background to add experience to our knowledgeable Team.
You will be involved in the day-to-day liaison with our Agents and suppliers in the activities of obtaining quotes, inviting and renewing policies, as well as some claims administration. Supporting our agents is at the heart of what we do – ensuring that we provide the right cover and assistance for them to provide to their customers. With NFU Mutual renewal retentions sitting at 95%, we’re clearly doing a lot right!
And as well as supporting our NFU Mutual Agency network and Regional Sales teams in acquiring and retaining customers, we support Head Office Underwriting’s strategic goals, and facilitate and provide the outplacement of large, complex, high risk Commercial and Specialty Risks for our Agency network through the Composite and London Insurance Markets
This role falls under Insurance Distribution Directive requirements, and as a result, role holders will be required to demonstrate ongoing Continuous Professional Development in role, along with undergoing regular re-screening to show that they are of “Good Repute”. Further information can be found in the FCA Handbook.
