Insurance and Farming Sales Executive - Future Agent Programme

Contract:     12 month fixed-term contract

In partnership with the UK’s Farming Unions, NFU Mutual is looking for driven entrepreneurs and natural leaders who have a passion to run their own business. We have opportunities for experts in commercial, high net worth and agricultural insurance. These unique opportunities will provide you with the security of employment within NFU Mutual and the relevant farming union for 12 months and allow you to learn how to run your own insurance sales business in a flexible environment. 

About us

From traditional roots, NFU Mutual has grown to become one of the UK’s largest general insurance and financial services organisations. There are over 320 offices around the UK providing a local service to members. Our ethos – of trust, respect and personal service – lies at the heart of everything we do, and has seen us build an enviable reputation for exceptional member loyalty. We’re proud to be part of the fabric of rural life and work together with the National Farmers’ Union (NFU), Nation Farmers Union Scotland (NFUS) and Ulster Farmers Union (UFU) who champion farming across the UK, providing professional representation and services to their members.

About the role 

We’re launching an exciting fast-track Future Agent Programme throughout the UK to provide all of the training, support and development you need to become an NFU Mutual Agent and farming union representative. During the 12-month programme you will be employed by NFU Mutual/the relevant farming union and will gain the necessary skills and experience to run your own NFU Mutual Agency business, along with a professional insurance qualification. Towards the end of the programme you’ll be able to apply to become a self-employed Agent, where you’ll develop strong relationships and business links with our members, selling NFU Mutual and the farming union’s products and services. 

About you 

With previous experience of sales, you’ll need to be highly motivated and have a desire to be your own boss by managing and leading a successful team. You’ll be an excellent communicator, have a flair for figures and a passion to grow and develop a business. For certain roles, you will need to have an affinity with rural business and the farming community. You’ll have the ability to form excellent relationships with our customers and colleagues and be acceptable to relocation.  

Rewards

In return, during this 12-month period, we will offer a competitive benefits package, ongoing professional development and a unique working environment. We’ll encourage and support you to gain recognised insurance qualifications too, and we’ll do everything we can to help you develop your career.
