Senior Protection Advisor
Our client is a highly successful and expanding financial protection specialist. They pride themselves on delivering tailored insurance solutions—including Life Cover, Critical Illness, Income Protection, and Business Protection built around their clients' unique needs. With a supportive, team-oriented environment, they offer an exceptional platform for sales-driven advisors to thrive and maximize their earning potential.
They are seeking a highly motivated, sales-focused Senior Protection Advisor to manage and convert a high volume of warm, pre-qualified client leads. Specific life insurance experience is not required; our client is looking for individuals with proven sales experience, a real sales hunger, and a strong drive to earn well. This is an incredible opportunity for a ambitious sales professional who wants zero cold calling, flexible working options to suit their lifestyle, and a clear, lucrative progression route toward self-employed status.
This dynamic role focuses on delivering high-quality advisory services, building trust with clients, and structuring bespoke protection packages. You will benefit from a comprehensive 8-day initial training program, as well as ongoing 1-on-1 support from a dedicated line manager and a coach to ensure your continued success.
The ideal candidate will be proactive, sales-driven, and highly commercial. To succeed in this role, you will recognize that top earnings come from accommodating client availability, meaning a willingness to conduct evening appointments is essential.
Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct thorough fact-finds and needs analyses to structure tailored protection portfolios for individual and business clients.
• Convert 100% warm, pre-screened client leads provided directly to you (no cold calling or self-sourcing required).
• Advise across a broad product suite including Life Cover, Critical Illness, Income Protection, and Business Protection.
• Manage client relationships and pipeline proactively through to policy completion and underwriting.
• Maintain strict compliance with FCA guidelines, meeting high standards of advice suitability and customer outcome.
• Be flexible with working hours, including evening client calls, to maximize client engagement and hitting target commission.

The successful candidate will have:

• Proven track record in a sales role with a clear history of achieving and exceeding targets (Life insurance experience is not essential).
• Strong sales hunger, self-motivation, and a high drive to earn well under an uncapped commission scheme.
• Excellent communication, rapport-building, and active listening skills over the phone.
• Flexibility to manage evening appointments when required to accommodate client schedules.
• A proactive, positive mindset with the ambition to learn and grow within the financial sector.

• Comprehensive 8-Day Training Program + Personal Coach & Dedicated Manager
• Generous TOIL Scheme: Alternate Saturdays (9am–2pm) earn 1 full day back in annual leave (up to 13 extra paid holiday days per year)
• Uncapped Commission Structure with accelerators (Top earners far exceed OTE)
• High-earning progression route to Self-Employed status with lucrative commission splits
• Flexible working schedule to suit personal lifestyle
• Free On-Site Parking
• Company Pension Scheme
