Trainee Protection Adviser

Fun, rewarding, and full of opportunities to grow your career—that’s life at L&C Mortgages, the UK’s leading fee-free mortgage and protection broker with over 160 awards to its name.

Join us and you’ll be part of a business that’s serious about your progress but also wants you to enjoy being part of the L&C family. From our _Extra Mile_ colleague nominations—recognising those who go above and beyond—to your birthday off and a Perkbox membership packed with perks, this is a place that truly gives back on the effort you put in.

We’re expanding our Newcastle team and welcoming new **Trainee Protection Advisers**starting this November 17th. In this exciting role, we’ll coach and train you in everything you need to flourish in the industry—supporting your journey to becoming a fully qualified adviser, all while helping families protect what matters most. If you’ve got a background in excellent customer service and a passion for supporting people, we’d love to hear from you.

**The Role**

In uncertain times, certainty matters. For our customers, that comes from protecting the things closest to them—their homes, families, and lifestyles. As a Protection Adviser, you’ll offer reassurance and peace of mind while building your own steady career with clear progression.

Using empathy and great listening skills, you’ll get to the heart of customers’ concerns and guide them towards the right cover. From Critical Illness Insurance to Income Protection and Life Insurance, you’ll explain the options clearly, documenting recommendations along the way.

It’s about striking the perfect balance—outstanding customer care, strong regulatory focus, and efficiency to exceed performance targets. You’ll succeed with attention to detail, a warm and trustworthy approach, and a real understanding of every customer’s needs.

**About You**

You already know how to put customers first—your experience in sales or service has sharpened your listening skills and your ability to build rapport. Now you’re ready to take your career further, combining personal development with professional qualifications.

Whether you’re from finance or another sector, what matters is your excellent communication skills, your ability to stay organised, and your motivation to make the most of every bonus opportunity. You’ll be a confident team player who thrives on doing the best for every customer. Live our values, and you’ll go far with L&C.

**Why Join L&C?**

We care deeply about our customers—but it’s our people who make the magic happen. That’s why we invest in you, listen to you, and create an environment of respect and equity. With top-tier training, supportive colleagues, and a culture that celebrates success, this is a place where you can truly thrive.
