Colchester, United Kingdom Howden Consumer & Local Commercial Full time

From day one, our mission has been to create an independent business with a unique culture - one that is controlled by the people who work for it. Finding the most talented and entrepreneurial people has always been key to our success.

People come to Howden for lots of different reasons, but they stay for the same one: our culture. That’s what sets us apart, and why we nurture and retain the best talent in the market. Whatever your priorities - work/life balance, career progression, sustainability, volunteering - you’ll find like-minded people driving change at Howden.

With a no limits approach, we can rise to any challenge. Whatever the question, the concern, or the risk, we can get the right people in a room and find the right answer. Our collective power is also helping us to change the insurance narrative - doing right by our clients while using insurance as a tool to build resilience for individuals, businesses and communities. From pro bono work to insuring COVID-19 vaccine development to de-risking the carbon market, we’re using our skills, knowledge, and networks to make a difference and speed positive change in the world around us.

We are looking for a Property Underwriter to compliment our existing team that is spread across the south of the UK in various locations. As a Property Underwriter, you will be responsible for identifying and responding to the needs of the clients, ensuring we always deliver excellent service. This is a great opportunity to join a highly successful organisation at an exciting stage of growth.

**About you**:

- You have excellent attention to detail and decision-making skills
- as you will be responsible for gathering, analysing and presenting reports, as well as using this data to make sound underwriting judgements based on the information available.
- You will have a passion for delivering an excellent client experience. Our clients are at the heart of everything we do, and we need to ensure we operate in a fair, objective and impartial manner with absolute integrity.
- You will be highly organised, enjoy using your initiative and be able to manage your time effectively, as you will be planning your own workload to meet business priorities and timescales.

**Rewards**:
We believe that great work and dedication should be rewarded, that’s why we offer:

- 25 days holiday, increasing to 27 days through service (plus bank holidays)
- Access to a Healthcare Cashplan, which gives you access to 17 different benefits, all paid for by us
- Excellent training and development schemes with accelerated career progression
- Company funded CII professional qualification
- Enhanced maternity & paternity policies
- Cycle to work loan scheme available to all employees
- Discount on gym membership across the UK - national and local gyms included
- Access to discounted personal health policies as well as a range of insurance products including home, motor, travel, specialist vehicles, critical illness, private medical, income protection etc.
- Access to hundreds of highstreet retailer discounts through our reward and recognition platform
- Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) to support employees outside of work

**Our Culture: People First**

We’ve travelled far since opening our first office in 1994. Back then we were local experts - based in London, with direct access to the world’s biggest insurance market. We’re still locals, and we still deliver the right advice and the right insurance to our clients. But now, we’re local all over the world. With 15,000 global colleagues and a partner network spanning more than 100 territories, we are the largest independent insurance broker in the world. But our values haven’t changed since day one, when we set out to create a company grounded in:

- An employee-ownership model
- Aligned external investors
- The trust and integrity born of friendship
- Expertise
- Independence

Our focus on being a people-first business has always been at the very heart of Howden. Our vision was to create an independent business with a unique culture; one that would survive and thrive as a business controlled by the people working for it. Our employee ownership model sets us apart in the market. It’s created a culture of collaboration and innovation, where we’re driven to think bigger and empowered to challenge convention.

Our flat structure and entrepreneurial spirit help us attract the best people and empower them to be the best version of themselves. And when we bring in and nurture great talent, more follows. That makes us better - and that’s better for everyone.
