You’ll be assessing referrals from a range of partners, making clear underwriting decisions within your authority and supporting both new business and renewals.

- Making sound decisions within your authority

- Maintaining service standards across a steady workflow

- Working collaboratively with colleagues and partners

What We’re Looking For

- Few years underwriting experience with strong liability background and good Property knowledge

- Confidence handling a varied and sometimes complex caseload

- Experience within an insurer or delegated environment

- Someone ready for the next step in their underwriting career

Salary & Working Pattern

- Up to £50,000 plus bonus and benefits

- Hybrid working – 3 days in the office (core days Monday & Tuesday)

This is a great opportunity to join a respected insurer, gain exposure to a broad mix of delegated business, and continue building your underwriting career in a supportive and collaborative environment.
