• Educate clients on NFU Mutuals full range of services and identify opportunities for cross-selling and referrals.

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
• Strong analytical ability to assess client needs and present suitable insurance solutions.
• A proactive, self-motivated approach with the ability to build and manage pipelines.
• A commitment to compliance and delivering high-quality service.

Whatever your role, as a key member of your agency team, you’ll enjoy the chance to develop your insurance industry knowledge and skills and build a rewarding career. For most roles you won’t necessarily need an insurance background. It’s more about your personal qualities – your ability to learn quickly, develop strong working relationships with a range of different people and give customers excellent service, with trusted advice and products.
Bring these qualities and you’ll be supported with a full range of training and development opportunities so you can build the career you want. These include the chance to gain an apprenticeship, as well as support to study for professional qualifications and full training in all aspects of the insurance industry.
