Summary
We’re looking for an experienced Account Handler to join a small, friendly team in Southend, with the flexibility of hybrid working. This role involves managing a range of commercial insurance accounts, making sure policies are accurate and up to date, and providing a high level of service to clients. You’ll handle everything from new business and renewals to changes and cancellations, and you’ll work closely with insurers to negotiate competitive terms while keeping everything compliant.
To be considered, you’ll need experience in a similar account handling role within insurance. This could be across personal lines, SME, property owners, professional indemnity, directors and officers, or cyber. You should be confident managing premiums typically between £250 and £3,000, and occasionally supporting on larger clients. Strong organisational skills and attention to detail are essential, as is the ability to manage multiple tasks under pressure. If you’ve used Acturis or have (or want to work towards) CII qualifications, that’s a plus.
This is a great opportunity to join a close-knit team where your work really matters. If you’re proactive, enjoy working with clients, and want a role where you can make an impact, we’d love to hear from you.
