This role offers the opportunity to work across a varied portfolio of delegated schemes, covering a mix of Property Owners, Commercial Combined and more niche programmes across SME and mid-market business. You’ll be assessing referrals from a range of partners, making clear underwriting decisions within your authority and supporting both new business and renewals.
With around 60-70 cases per month, the workload is busy and varied. Some risks can be more complex, so you’ll need confidence in your judgement and the ability to prioritise effectively.

- Managing a mix of 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.
