Who are we?

Howden is a global insurance group with employee ownership at its heart. Together, we have pushed the boundaries of insurance. We are united by a shared passion and no-limits mindset, and our strength lies in our ability to collaborate as a powerful international team comprised of 24,000 employees spanning over 56 countries.

People join Howden for many different reasons, but they stay for the same one: our culture. It’s what sets us apart, and the reason our employees have been turning down headhunters for years. Whatever your priorities – work / life balance, career progression, sustainability, volunteering – you’ll find like-minded people driving change at Howden.

By working closely with our clients to understand their needs, we can develop solutions that are truly best-in-class. We choose to be specialists rather than generalists, so that we have the expertise required to solve even the most complex challenges. Our entrepreneurial approach promotes innovation, integrity and a constant focus on delivering the best solutions for our clients.

We are recruiting for experienced Group Risk administration professionals to join our teams in Redhill, that will have responsibility for providing operational support to clients in relation to their Group Life Assurance, Group Income Protection, Group Critical Illness and related schemes.

Key aspects of the role include:

• Insurance scheme administration including manipulating data and checking calculations
• Liaising with stakeholders including insurers, clients and colleagues
• Creating written correspondence including emails, letter and reports
• Adhering to processes and accurate maintenance of records

Core skills required include:

• Motivation, tenacity, and a can-do approach
• Competent ability in respect of Microsoft Office including Teams
• Close attention to detail
• Highly organised
• A personable approach
• Adaptability to change
• A desire to learn
• An ability to take ownership
• An ability to create new relationships and build credibility

You will work in a high volume and fast-paced environment, where teamwork and continuous improvement are key. As a business regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority you will be expected to uphold the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.

If you have administration experience of Group Risk, either in an intermediary, insurer or client environment we would like to hear from you. 

What do we offer in return?

• Our successes have all come from someone brave enough to try something new

• We support each other in the small everyday moments and the bigger challenges

• We are determined to make a positive difference at work and beyond
