THE ROLE

If you haven’t thought about a career in Underwriting yet, here’s why it could be a great choice.
As an Assistant Underwriter at ERS you’ll be helping our Teams research and assess the risk each Policy presents. Your main responsibilities will be to help us capture all the key information we need to decide whether we can offer insurance or make changes to an existing policy. You’ll do this using the comprehensive training you have received from one of our resident experts on department, referring to Underwriting Guides and experienced colleagues when you need support. No two policies are ever the same, so a keen eye for detail and accuracy are top of our list of requirements.
Working at our Contact Centre in Swansea, you’ll join one of our specialist teams focussed on providing bespoke products that protect our clients’ livelihoods and the vehicles they care so much about.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Working within set guidelines / authority framework to process new business quotes, renewals, mid-term amendments and cancellations.
• Liaising with our Underwriters for support with risks that fall outside of agreed underwriting authority.
• Always aiming to get things right first time, achieving the agreed levels of quality that help make it easy for clients to choose us as their insurer.
• Achieve personal performance targets working collaboratively with others to deliver results which help ERS achieve our business plans and strategy.
• Act as our first line of defense - understand and adhere to the zero- tolerance fraud strategy by identifying and referring potentially fraudulent activity to our Policy Validation Unit.
• Working within all regulatory requirements and guidelines – both internal and external.
• Proactively seek to learn and develop to ensure your best possible performance.
• Support and consistently demonstrate the behaviours expected in the high-performance culture at ERS.
