From day one, our mission has been to create an independent business with a unique culture – one that is controlled by the people who work for it. Finding the most talented and entrepreneurial people has always been key to our success.
People come to Howden for lots of different reasons, but they stay for the same one: our culture. That’s what sets us apart, and why we nurture and retain the best talent in the market. Whatever your priorities – work/life balance, career progression, sustainability, volunteering - you’ll find like-minded people driving change at Howden.
We are actively looking for an Insurance Advisor to join our Howden Consumer & Local Commercial team. This is a great opportunity to join a highly successful organisation, where you will be provided with full training on the job and the opportunity to gain industry recognised qualifications.
About you:
You will enjoy having conversations with people, listening and building relationships as it’s important that we really get to know our clients and understand their requirements.
You have awesome problem-solving skills – all of our clients are totally unique, so we need to come up with tailor made solutions as we don’t have a "one size fits all" approach.
You may currently be working in a sales role and are now looking for a career. We don’t require any previous experience as we offer on-site training, workshops, coaching and will support you through industry qualifications.
You will have a passion and entrepreneurial mindset. Many of our most successful business opportunities have come from team members with a passion for the subject – whether that’s equine insurance, campervans, motorhomes, classic cars, motorbikes, marine, fine art, etc. Loving what you do means you will be knowledgeable, be able to build rapport quickly and be able to provide clients with the best solution.
You will be ambitious. We promote within, everyone in a leadership position started out as an Insurance Advisor – We give you all the tools, all we ask from you is the desire to succeed.
