About the Role

As an insurance broker, you act as an intermediary between your clients and insurance companies and will offer products, from more than one insurer, to ensure that your clients get the best deal.

As a successful candidate, you will have a unique opportunity to develop a long-term career with an established, Independent, Insurance Broker, while you work towards obtaining the Level 3 Insurance Practitioner Standard, supported by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) Qualifications, to become Cert CII.

As an Insurance Broker you will need to complete a variety of tasks including:

  • Gather information from your clients, assessing their insurance needs and risk profile
  • Research insurance companies’ policies and negotiate to find the most suitable cover
  • Ensure that your clients understand the terms and cover provided
  • Manage your client needs throughout the policy life to include any amendments
  • Advise your clients on whether and when they should claim and provide support
  • Advise your clients on risk management and how to mitigate risk
  • Build and maintain ongoing relations with your clients
  • Win new clients
  • Collect insurance premiums and process accounts

No prior experience is required, and we are anticipating that suitable candidates are seeking their first role within the Insurance Industry.  You will be given appropriate support and supervision to both carry out your job role and complete the apprenticeship.   This includes providing you with opportunities to practice new skills in the work environment and delivering off-the-job training when required.  Across the apprenticeship you will receive:

  • 3 CII training workshops
  • 6 face-to-face workshops with Aviva

Aviva will also provide full access to training materials and courses on the Aviva Development Zone platform, to help with your specially designed apprenticeship pathway.
