A brief update on Covid-19 (coronavirus)
Simply Business is well prepared to deal with unprecedented events. We’re an agile business by nature – and our hiring and interview process is no exception. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, some parts of our hiring process may take a little longer than usual. Please bear with us, and rest assured that we're happy to hear from you and receive your application.
If it looks like you could be a good fit for the role, we’ll ask you to interview on Zoom – you’ll need WiFi and a laptop, or a 4G-enabled smartphone.
Technology. Award-winning customer service. Bleeding-edge data ability. Simply Business is a new type of insurance company, using all of the above to create the best possible insurance experience for small businesses and self-employed people. We love working here, and have even taken the number one spot in the Sunday Times Best Company To Work For 2015 and 16 lists; we’ve stopped entering now to focus on a few bigger projects, but you get the idea.
It’s a great place to work.
There are currently over 700,000 active Simply Business insurance policies in the UK alone. We do have offices in London, Northampton and Boston, USA, but with this role you will be entirely home based.
Our people are our most important asset, so we focus on building a working life that helps us thrive, not stick. Join us and you’ll be part of our journey to creating something even better, for our customers and ourselves.
We need Insurance Sales Consultants to join our Sales Team.
Being an Insurance Sales Consultant at SImply Business, allows you to work in a role that offers a wide range of variety and exposure to different business areas and products. This involves, selling insurance policies to prospective customers who have generated quotes, dealing with our existing customers to allow them to amend their insurance policies, supporting and selling insurance policies to new customers and supporting the renewal of customer insurance year on year.
To be considered for this opportunity you will need to have extensive experience in selling business insurance and previous telephone sales experience.
This role will be home based. You will need a workspace that is free from noise or distractions (Simply Business provides all necessary computer equipment) and you must have a fibre internet connection.
What are the benefits?
There’s all the serious (but important) stuff we call ‘core benefits’. On top of that, you can pick and choose from the more exciting options we offer – whether it’s a full gym membership or gym subsidy, comprehensive private health cover, extra holiday, or a National Trust pass.
The ‘core’ stuff
Some of these will kick in once you’re confirmed in post, but here’s the summary:
• a salary that reflects your experience, our pay policy and the market we’re in from your first day, generous annual leave
• life assurance (financial cover for your family, should the worst happen)
• a cash plan to reimburse your everyday medical expenses
• an extra day off if you get married or move house
• an automatic enrollment pension (employer-matched at 5%)
The fun stuff
We also have a great deal more to pick and mix from, with things like:
• a full gym membership
• private medical insurance
• extra days annual leave
• shopping vouchers
• dental insurance
• travel insurance
But there’s so much more to Simply Business than insurance and memberships. We also commit to flexible working options, smart working (our offices are kitted out for you to work when and how you choose), cycle to work, eye test vouchers, and season ticket loan schemes, and we have a handy online form to put in any training or conference requests.
Best of all, though, are the groups, clubs, and adventures that come with the Simply Business territory. Forget a simple Give As You Earn scheme (although we’ve got that too) – we trek the Sahara for charity, take you on weekends away, throw epic summer parties, and meet up for book groups, public speaking coaching, yoga, manicures, beer brewing, and lots, lots more.
Our values
Everything we do comes down to these five values – empowerment, authenticity, simplicity, learning and pioneering. In practice, these will mean something unique to every person at Simply Business, but if you’re considering working here, give them some thought. They’re at the heart of our story.
Empowerment
We believe in our people and the positive impact they can have so we enable everyone to stretch themselves
Authenticity
We celebrate diversity, avoid jargon and genuinely care about helping small businesses thrive
Simplicity
We attempt to simplify complex solutions to save our customers time and effort
Learning
We’re never done learning about new possibilities and act to explore them
Pioneering
We’re obsessed with finding new ways to create even better experiences
