Training: You can choose to join one of our training groups that begin on the 29th July or 19th August. The five weeks of in-office, full-time training will consist of both classroom-based and hands-on learning, and you will then apply your learning and assist our customers under the supervision of our seasoned coaches. Once you finish the 5-weeks intensive training, you will change to your part-time hours and shift schedule.

Please be aware that you cannot have any holiday in the first 7 weeks, which is the Training and Coaching period. This is to ensure that you develop the abilities and self-assurance to work on your own, along with the rest of the group.

Salary: Earn £12,740 for 19.5 hours a week, plus bonus, benefits and pay rise potential.

Your role: Joining an extremely busy team, you’ll be dealing with customers who have come to the end of their policy and are looking to renew. So, it’s about explaining why their quote may be different from the previous year, making sure they’re comfortable with their new quote, and handling any of their concerns, so they’re happy to stay with us. That means talking confidently about our products, giving them accurate information first time, and making sure they understand everything, so they don’t need to call us back.

What we offer: Join us and you’ll find a different way of doing things. We call it the 4Cs. So, we focus on getting it right for our colleagues, customers, company, and community.
