We have an exciting opportunity to join our warm and welcoming team as an Employee Benefits Consultant.

Our Employee Benefits Consultants are responsible for managing, retaining and developing a portfolio of clients, typically managed through face-to-face sales and account management.

What we are looking for in an Employee Benefits Consultant:

  • A minimum of five years of experience working within employee benefits within a broking or advisory environment
  • A strong understanding of employee benefits and their operation, in particular group risk benefits which will form the majority of the portfolio. A robust understanding of healthcare and wider benefits is also expected, with applications from dual-authorised consultants welcome.
  • Experience of managing and maintaining a portfolio of clients
  • Experience in successfully converting new business opportunities or willingness and desire to learn the necessary skills.
  • Proficiency in using Microsoft Office programmes
  • IF7/GR1 qualified (and working towards Cert CII)
  • Strong numeracy and literacy skills
  • Effective presentation, verbal and written communication skills
