Job Description

About the role
We have numerous exciting opportunities to join our 130-strong Customer Service team in Bristol (Temple Back) in a Customer Service Advisor Underwriting role.

You'll be responsible for reviewing and evaluating insurance risk for our personal lines policies, which include motor, home, travel and pet insurance.
Our Agents require an exceptional service when dealing with requests about customer's policies, which could be anything from renewals and mid-term adjustments to brand-new business, so you need to be ready to respond with accurate information when it's requested. Most requests come via phone, so although our Agents can interact with you via a live-chat function, a large part of your role will be receiving a high-volume of phone calls.

And when the training is complete, we'll provide a supportive learning environment so you can confidently start your Underwriting career. Your line manager will also support you to build a personal development plan which, if you choose to, will help you to gain the skills you need to progress in your career at NFU Mutual.
This Underwriting role offers you a 35-hour week, with rotational shift patterns that run from Monday to Friday between 8am - to 6pm and 1 in 4 Saturdays 9am - 12:30pm. We offer a hybrid working model which means that once you have completed the training programme which typically takes 6-9 months, you can work from the comfort of your own home up to 4 days a week.
Please note the start date for the positions we have is Monday 6th January.
