Recruiting: Senior Account Handler - The Salvation Army

Location: Chelmsford
Salary: £40,000 – £45,000 depending on experience

Sagic is looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Senior Account Handler to join our Salvation Army Insurance team in Chelmsford.

This is an unusual opportunity to take day-to-day ownership of an established and important insurance portfolio, working closely with The Salvation Army and supporting the delivery of insurance solutions across its diverse range of properties and activities.

Reporting to our Head of The Salvation Army Insurances, you will be responsible for the end-to-end management of the account, combining account handling, underwriting, relationship management and policy administration.

This is a hands-on role with real responsibility. You will manage new business enquiries, renewals and mid-term adjustments, make underwriting decisions within agreed authority, liaise with insurers and other external partners where required, and ensure that policies and associated documentation are administered accurately and efficiently.

You will also play an important role in developing our service to The Salvation Army, building strong relationships with its personnel and helping us continually improve the way we support its insurance needs.

As the team develops, you will have the opportunity to train and supervise an Administrator who will support you with elements of the day-to-day administration. You will retain responsibility for the overall quality and delivery of the work, making this an excellent opportunity for someone looking to take the next step in their insurance career and develop their leadership experience.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has experience in commercial insurance, ideally in an account handling or underwriting role
• Is comfortable managing insurance business from initial enquiry through to policy administration and renewal
• Has strong technical insurance knowledge and sound judgement
• Is highly organised, accurate and comfortable taking ownership of their workload
• Enjoys developing strong and lasting customer relationships
• Is prepared to be hands-on and undertake administrative work as part of managing the account
• Can work independently while knowing when to escalate more complex matters
• Has excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Is interested in developing their skills and taking on greater responsibility as the role and team develop

Experience of property, commercial or charity insurance would be particularly useful. Insurance qualifications such as Cert CII would be advantageous, although we would also welcome applications from candidates willing to work towards professional qualifications.
