Commercial Insurance Administator in Leeds

If you’re already working in insurance or financial services and want a role that gives you somewhere to go next, this could be worth a look. We’re working with a growing independent insurance broker in Leeds that’s looking to add another Administrator to its team. This isn’t one of those jobs where you spend years doing the same thing with no obvious next step. They’ve got a strong track record of developing people internally, and for the right person this could lead into an Account Handler or Claims Handler role as you build your knowledge and experience.

What will you be doing? You’ll support the wider insurance team and help make sure the administration behind clients, policies and insurers is dealt with properly. That will include things such as:

• Updating client and policy information
• Processing insurance documentation and amendments
• Using insurer websites and online portals
• Updating internal systems and databases
• Supporting Account Handlers and Account Executives
• Making sure client information is accurate and up to date
• Helping with general administration across the broking team
• Making sure the small details are right before anything goes out to clients or insurers

They use Acturis, so previous experience would be useful, but it certainly isn’t essential. What matters more is that you’re organised, reliable and comfortable dealing with detail.

Who are they looking for? Ideally, you’ll already have some experience within either:

• Insurance
• Financial services
• Banking
• Pensions
• Mortgages
• Another regulated financial environment

You don’t necessarily need commercial insurance experience. If you understand the importance of accuracy, compliance, client information and getting things right, they can teach you the insurance side. They’re looking for somebody who takes pride in their work, gets on well with people and wants to develop rather than simply find another administration job.

What happens next? That depends on you. You might enjoy administration and want to become increasingly knowledgeable and valuable within the role. Or you may eventually want to move into a more technical position. For people who want to progress, there are genuine routes into areas such as:

• Commercial Account Handling
• Claims Handling

There’s no promise that you’ll be promoted after six months just because you’ve turned up every day. But if you prove yourself, learn the business and show that you want more responsibility, there is somewhere to go.

Working hours and flexibility: The working hours are Monday to Friday 8:45am – 5:15pm. Initially, you’ll be able to work one day per week from home. The business takes a fairly sensible approach to hybrid working. Once you’ve built trust, proved that you know what you’re doing and can work independently, there can be more flexibility around where you work.

Why consider it? You’ll be joining a growing independent business where people are visible and good work gets noticed. You’re not buried several layers below senior management. You’ll work closely with experienced insurance professionals, have the opportunity to learn properly and, if you want it, build a longer-term career within the industry. The offices are based on the outskirts of Leeds with parking available. The salary is flexible depending on your background and experience.
