Ideal, but not essential:

-
Previous experience working within a Health & Protection Insurance environment with a good knowledge of Health Insurance & protection products

Whilst we naturally welcome professionalism, accuracy and technical ability, we put a high value on personality, team fit and the ability to make a positive difference to the team and to the wider company.
