Group Risk & Protection Consultant

Group Risk & Protection Consultant

We're looking for a motivated and relationship-focused Group Risk & Protection Consultant to join our growing Health & Protection team.

As part of our continued growth, you'll play a key role in developing new business, supporting existing clients and delivering expert advice across our Health & Protection proposition.

We're open to candidates with experience in either Group Risk OR Protection. You don't need to be an expert across both areas from day one. We'll support you to build on your existing strengths while developing your knowledge across the wider Health & Protection market over time.

You'll be joining a friendly, collaborative and professional team of 12 colleagues, where you'll have the opportunity to build strong client relationships, drive business growth and make a real impact on the continued success of the department.

This role can be fully remote, with occasional travel required. If you prefer an office-based or hybrid working arrangement, we'll support you with access to your nearest Jensten office.

What You'll Be Doing:

· Developing new business opportunities through referrals, enquiries and relationship-building activities.

· Promoting the Health & Protection proposition both internally across the Group and externally to prospective clients.

· Identifying opportunities to cross-sell and up-sell relevant products and services to new and existing clients.

· Providing advice and recommendations tailored to clients' individual needs and objectives.

· Reviewing and analysing employee benefit arrangements to identify opportunities for improvement, cost efficiencies and enhanced outcomes.

· Attending client and colleague meetings, both virtually and in person, as required.

· Ensuring all activity is delivered in line with FCA regulations, Consumer Duty requirements and internal compliance standards.

About You:

You may currently specialise in either Group Risk or Protection, and that's absolutely fine. We're looking for someone with strong technical knowledge in at least one of these areas who is keen to continue developing their expertise. While you'll initially focus on your area of strength, you'll also have opportunities to broaden your knowledge across the wider Health & Protection proposition over time.

You'll Also Have:

· Experience in Group Risk or Protection sales, account management or consulting.

· Strong relationship-building and stakeholder management skills.

· A proactive approach to generating and developing business opportunities.

· Experience within an insurance broker environment is preferred, although insurer experience will also be considered.

· Experience using Acturis (desirable, but not essential).

What We Offer

We believe in rewarding our people. When you join us, you’ll benefit from:

· Competitive salary with annual reviews and a quarterly sales-based bonus

· 27 days annual leave (including your birthday and a religious holiday of your choice) + bank holidays

· 5% employer pension contribution

· Flexible benefits tailored to your lifestyle

· Group Life Assurance

· Fully paid parental leave (3 months for maternity, paternity, and adoption)

· Professional development support, including study funding

· Perks at Work – discounts on gyms, dining, shopping, and more

· Holiday purchase scheme – buy up to 5 extra days annually
