OVERVIEW

We fully acknowledge that without the right people and the ‘human touch’ of our passionate, energetic, and professional team, our customer-centric business does not exist.
Essential Insurance is a fast-paced, dynamic environment where our people are rewarded for team collaboration and their individual contributions and work life balance is important - that’s why the latest we expect you to work until is 7pm Monday to Thursday, and the latest anyone works until on a Friday is 2.30pm - ensuring that every week our staff have an extended weekend to spend with their loved ones.
We offer a generous holiday package of 30 days per year, increasing to 35 days for longer serving staff.
Salaries and incentive schemes are extremely generous and are focused on good customer outcomes, whilst ensuring hard work is rewarded and effort recognised appropriately - and a company pension scheme is open to all.
Our modern 8000-square-foot offices are located in the friendly and vibrant town of Sale, which is an extremely popular place to work thanks to easy transport links. The train, Metro station and North West motorway network are all located nearby (were just off J7 of the M60) – and there’s ample free parking onsite and right outside the door which is a massive bonus!
As one of the largest and fastest growing award-winning financial services businesses in Manchester, we are looking to add to our team of nearly 100 staff to enable us to service our existing clients.
