We are seeking an experienced Protection Adviser to join a fast-growing, whole-of-market mortgage brokerage. Working closely with a team of mortgage brokers, you will advise clients on a wide range of personal and business protection solutions, supporting both retail and high-net-worth clients already engaged in financial services such as residential mortgages, commercial mortgages, and bridging finance. This role benefits from a consistent flow of warm, pre-qualified leads, allowing you to focus on advising, building trust, and developing long-term client relationships rather than sourcing business.

  • Advising on key business protection policies, including:
  • Key Person Insurance
  • Shareholder Protection
  • Managing and progressing a pipeline of warm, pre-qualified leads
  • Building strong, long-term client relationships
  • Ensuring all advice is fully compliant with FCA and regulatory requirements
  • Working towards and exceeding individual performance targets

Requirements
Essential:

  • Minimum of 2 years’ experience in financial services or protection sales
  • Proven track record in protection or insurance sales
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills
  • Confidence dealing with high-value and complex clients
  • Target-driven with a strong commercial mindset

Desirable:

  • Experience advising on both personal and business protection
  • CeMAP qualification (or willingness to work towards it)

What’s on Offer

  • £25,000 – £30,000 basic salary (DOE)
  • Uncapped commission structure
  • All leads provided
  • Strong, existing pipeline of engaged clients
  • Exposure to high-net-worth and commercial clients
  • Supportive, professional team environment
  • Office-based role, Monday to Friday

Location & Working Pattern

  • Location: Thurrock (office-based)
  • Working Pattern: Monday to Friday
