Underwriting Assistant – West Cheshire
Up to £26,500 + benefits + hybrid working
This is an exciting opportunity to join a long-standing independent insurance business that has been operating successfully for more than 20 years. Known for its supportive and relaxed culture, the company is not part of a larger group, so you’ll be joining a close-knit team where your contribution really matters.
The business has in-house underwriting and an exclusive delegated authority scheme with a major insurer, giving full authority to handle premiums typically ranging between £7.5k and £100k. You’ll be joining as an Underwriting Assistant, supporting the Underwriting Team, and taking on an important role in the submission process. Day to day you’ll be reviewing submissions, carrying out pre-underwriting checks, sourcing information, uploading data into systems, and assisting senior underwriters with their caseloads.
What makes this role stand out is the clear career pathway. You will start as an Assistant before progressing into a full Underwriter role over time, with a structure of levels to work through. It’s a genuine opportunity for someone who is organised, detail-focused, confident with IT systems like Excel, and motivated to build a career in underwriting.
The position comes with a competitive salary for this entry-level role and hybrid working with three days in the office once you are up to speed. You’ll be part of a company that values training and development and offers exposure to a wide range of risks with full underwriting authority.
