About the role

At NFU Mutual, our difference isn’t just the products we offer – it’s the conversations we have. As a Customer Service & Sales Adviser, you’ll support new and existing customers by providing insurance quotations for Motor and Home policies, helping them understand their options and feel confident choosing the right cover for their needs.

No insurance experience? That’s absolutely fine — we’ll teach you that. What matters most is your ability to listen, ask the right questions and build trust. You’ll typically handle 20-25 calls per day, with steady volumes that allow you to focus on meaningful, quality conversations rather than rushing customers through a sale.

Alongside delivering excellent customer service, you’ll work towards clear, achievable targets, including generating monthly insurance sales and managing your time effectively on calls and after‑call work (ACW). This isn’t cold calling — customers contact us to explore their options, and your role is to understand their circumstances, explain cover clearly and provide tailored quotations. You’ll also support our growing digital services, guiding customers to use our online portal, access documents digitally and choose paperless options where it suits them.

We invest heavily in your development, starting with six weeks of structured training. You’ll then spend two weeks working closely with a Team Leader to embed your learning, before moving into a supported environment with ongoing coaching tailored to your individual needs. You’ll begin with Motor insurance, achieving sign‑off before gradually expanding into other personal lines, including Home insurance. We also dedicate 10% of your working week to personal and team development.

It’s a supportive, down‑to‑earth environment where targets are there to guide and stretch you, not overwhelm you, and where success is genuinely recognised and celebrated.

Application Process: Our selection process includes a short online assessment, followed by a telephone interview with one of our Recruitment team. If successful, you’ll then be invited to attend a final virtual interview with skills-based interview questions and role play. Interviews are currently planned for the weeks commencing 3rd – 17th August.

In line with UK immigration regulations, this role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

We may close this vacancy early depending on application volumes, so we encourage early applications to avoid disappointment.

This role falls under Insurance Distribution Directive requirements, and as a result, role holders will be required to demonstrate ongoing Continuous Professional Development in role, along with undergoing regular re-screening to show that they are of “Good Repute”. Further information can be found in the FCA Handbook.

About you

You’ll have recent customer service experience in a role where you’ve regularly engaged with customers, building rapport, handling enquiries and delivering a positive experience. Whether that’s in retail, hospitality, a contact centre or another customer-facing environment, you’ll be used to managing conversations confidently, understanding customer needs and taking ownership of queries from start to finish.

You’re comfortable working towards goals, confident using systems and ready to develop your skills in a structured, regulated environment where accuracy and customer outcomes really matter.

To succeed in this role, you’ll bring:

• Customer focus and strong communication skills – You build rapport easily, listen carefully and explain information clearly and professionally.


• Confidence working towards targets – You’re motivated by goals and understand the importance of balancing performance, efficiency and quality.


• Attention to detail and accurate data entry skills – You capture information precisely, update systems correctly and understand the importance of accuracy in a regulated environment.


• The ability to multi-task and strong IT proficiency – You can navigate multiple systems, talk to customers and input information at the same time while keeping conversations flowing naturally.


• Adaptability and a positive learning mindset – You’re open to feedback and new ways of working, willing to learn new products and processes, and able to adjust as your responsibilities grow.


• Resilience, initiative and problem-solving ability – You stay calm during busy periods, take ownership of customer queries, use your judgement and manage your time effectively when working from home.

At NFU Mutual, we support an inclusive workplace and value all the differences that make us unique. We celebrate the creativity and innovation that comes from diverse perspectives and experiences and share a common vision of doing the right thing for our customers and employees.
