Who are we?

Howden is a collective – a group of talented and passionate people all around the world. Together, we have pushed the boundaries of insurance. We are united by a shared passion and no-limits mind-set, and our strength lies in our ability to collaborate as a powerful international team comprised of 18,000 employees spanning over 100 countries.

Our people are our biggest asset as well as our largest shareholder group and are everything that makes us unique; our inclusive culture, the quality service we offer our clients, and our continued growth, all come from our people-first approach. There’s no such thing as individual success. We all need to play our part, contributing our skills and experience to make a true difference. That’s Howden.

Why work at Howden?

We have always been employee-owned and driven by entrepreneurial spirit. Right from the beginning, we've focused on employing talented individuals and empowering them to make a real difference to the company, whilst building successful and fulfilling careers at the same time. Simply put, we hire talented specialists and give them what they need to make a difference for clients. Always have, always will.

From day one, our mission has been to create an independent business with a unique culture – one that is controlled by the people who work for it. Finding the most talented and entrepreneurial people has always been key to our success. People come to Howden for lots of different reasons, but they stay for the same one: our culture. That’s what sets us apart, and why we nurture and retain the best talent in the market. Whatever your priorities – work/life balance, career progression, sustainability, volunteering – you’ll find like-minded people driving change at Howden.

By working closely with our prospects and clients to understand their needs, we are able to develop solutions that are truly best-in-class. We choose to be specialists rather than generalists, so that we have the expertise required to solve even the most complex challenges. Our entrepreneurial approach promotes innovation, integrity and a constant focus on delivering the best solutions for our clients.

We are recruiting for Insurance Technician vacancies in our claims teams based in our London or Redhill offices that will have responsibility for providing operational support to prospects and clients in relation to their healthcare, risk and pension schemes including Group Private Medical Insurance, Group Life Assurance, Group Income Protection and Group Personal Pension schemes.

Key aspects of the role include:

• Insurance scheme administration including manipulating data and checking calculations
• Liaising with stakeholders including insurers, clients and colleagues
• Creating written correspondence including emails, letter and reports
• Adhering to processes and accurate maintenance of records

Core skills required include:

• Motivation, tenacity, and a can-do approach
• Competent ability in respect of Microsoft Office including Teams
• Close attention to detail
• Highly organised
• A personable approach
• Adaptability to change
• A desire to learn
• An ability to take ownership
• An ability to create new relationships and build credibility

You will work in a high volume and fast-paced environment, where teamwork and continuous improvement are key. As a business regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority you will be expected to uphold the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.

If your career aspirations are orientated to working in the insurance industry, and you have the required core skills, we would like to hear from you. Whilst experience in employee benefits is desired, it is not essential.

What do we offer in return?

A career that you define.

Our business succeeds by allowing our people to make a mark in the areas they care about most: personal development, volunteering, and fundraising for charity, or creating new insurance products that address society’s greatest challenges.

And we know that separate home and work lives don't really exist. If you're happy and healthy at home, you're more likely to be happy and fulfilled at work – and vice versa. That's why we do our best to support our people in every aspect of their lives.

Diversity and Inclusion

At Howden we value diversity - there is no one Howden ‘personality type’. Instead, we’re looking for individuals who share the same values as us:

· Our successes have all come from someone brave enough to try something new

· We support each other, in the small everyday moments and the bigger challenges

· We are determined to make a positive difference, at work and beyond

We consider our people our chief competitive advantage and as such we treat colleagues, candidates, clients, and business partners with equality, fairness, and respect – regardless of age, disability, race, religion or belief, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, or family circumstances.

Reasonable adjustments

We're committed to providing reasonable accommodations at Howden to ensure that our positions align well with your needs. Besides the usual adjustments such as software, IT, and office setups, we can also accommodate other changes such as flexible hours* or hybrid working*.

If you're excited by this role but have some doubts about whether it’s the right fit for you, send us your application – if your profile fits the role’s criteria, we will be in touch to assist in helping to get you set up with any reasonable adjustments you may require.

*Not all positions can accommodate changes to working hours or locations. Reach out to your Recruitment Partner if you want to know more.

Our sustainability promise

We’re on a life-long journey to become an ever-more sustainable group. It's a commitment to taking care of our people and the world we live in, to doing good business, and to making a positive impact wherever we can. Our governance processes, company policies, and review systems are all geared towards our goal of making a positive impact in the world.
