Description

If you are looking for a Junior Account Handler role where you can learn properly, build confidence and develop into the commercial insurance market with the right support around you, this is a strong opportunity in the Reading area. It will suit someone who is organised, eager to learn and serious about building a long-term career, rather than just taking another administrative role with no real direction.

This is the kind of move that gives you exposure to the work that matters. You will be part of a busy commercial team, supporting experienced colleagues with renewals, client servicing and day-to-day account handling, while gradually building the technical grounding and market understanding needed to progress.

The opportunity

You will join an established insurance team where junior people are given the chance to get involved, ask questions and develop in the right way. The role offers broad exposure to commercial insurance work and would suit someone who wants to build both their technical knowledge and their confidence in a professional client environment.

For the right person, this is a genuine entry point into a career path with long-term prospects.

What the role looks like


  • You will support the handling of commercial insurance accounts across a varied client base, helping with renewals, adjustments, documentation and general servicing work. You will work closely with Account Handlers and Account Executives, learning how a book is managed and how strong client service is delivered day to day.
  • As your experience grows, you will have the chance to take on more responsibility and become a dependable member of the team.

Responsibilities


  • Supporting the team with renewals, policy administration and day-to-day account handling work
  • Assisting with mid-term adjustments, documentation and client queries
  • Liaising with insurers to obtain information, terms and updates
  • Preparing renewal packs, reports and general correspondence
  • Keeping client records accurate and up to date
  • Working with senior colleagues to maintain service standards across the portfolio
  • Building your technical knowledge of commercial insurance and learning the market properly

Who this could suit


  • Someone with some insurance experience who wants to move into a broader commercial role
  • A junior handler, insurance administrator or support professional ready for the next step
  • Someone at the start of their insurance career who is bright, organised and keen to learn
  • A person who enjoys detail, communicates well and wants to build a future in the industry

The business


  • You would be joining an established insurance environment with experienced people around you and the structure to help you develop properly. The culture will suit someone who wants to learn, contribute and become part of a professional and supportive team.

Package / benefits


  • Reading area based role
  • Strong training and development opportunity
  • Exposure to commercial insurance clients and markets
  • Supportive team environment
  • Clear long-term progression potential

The next step

If you would be open to a confidential conversation, I would be happy to talk you through the role in more detail. This could be a very good move for someone who wants to build a proper career in commercial insurance and do it in the right environment.
