Training: The first 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-week intensive training, you will change to your part-time hours and shift schedule but continue to work in the office until week 12.
Please be aware that you cannot have any holiday in the first 10 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.
Location: Our fantastic Leicester office, which is in the city centre and only a short walk from the train station.
Salary: Earn £12,740 for 19.5 hours a week, plus bonus, benefits and pay rise potential.
Your Role: Joining a busy team within a customer-focused environment, you'll be the voice of Hastings as you support our customers who are coming to the end of their current policy and want to discuss their renewal with us.
A key part of your role will be to actively listen to any customer queries and then work with them to fact-find and understand any changes to their policy details and circumstances. You will then utilise your training and our systems to offer the customer the most suitable products and price for their upcoming insurance needs.
That means talking confidently with purpose about our products, giving accurate information first time and making sure customers understand everything about their policy, quotation and services.
About You: An insurance background is not necessary; we see many skills as transferable, such as resilience, persuasiveness, and customer centricity. If you have a background in retail, hospitality, sales, or just an interest and passion for customer service, we'd love to receive your application.
