Account Handler

**Salary - Basic plus significant benefits and opportunity**

**The Company**

We are one of the UK’s leading Independent Specialist Brokerages, having been twice been named UK Broker of the Year in the last five years and Employer of the Year at the Yorkshire Financial Awards. We are not a huge firm. We're international, but our employees number in their hundreds, not the thousands of our competitors. And Bartlett is still proudly independent after more than 80 years.

We act for businesses, charities and individuals in over 40 countries - from regional manufacturing firms to large publicly-listed multinationals. And our clients include families and firms we have worked with for generations. The secret of our success? We know where the markets we work in break down. And we know what to do about it providing an outstanding level of service and technical ability.

Our Schemes team is currently recruiting. Being part of the larger Bartlett Group offers the best of both worlds’ scenario, joining a small team at a significant and pivotal time of growth, as well as benefiting from the opportunities a larger group provides.
