Business Support Senior Assistant Review

I work in a client services team, providing support to account executives by creating documentation, drafting emails and many other more administrative tasks contributing to the process of placing insurance.

I have learnt the ins and outs of insurance, how to deal with high profile clients, how to create insurance documentation and how PI insurance works. I have also learnt about regulations and processes.

I enjoy the programme. It is very useful for someone getting into the industry as it provides extra support. Some of the extra tasks you have to do for the apprenticeship seem a little unnecessary, making it sometimes a little difficult to balance work and apprenticeship tasks.

Well structured - regular calls and catch ups are always in place.

My employer is really helpful - we get study days before exams and at the end of the scheme and they allow us to take time to study when needed as long as work doesn't take a hit.

I can't fault my skills coaches - they have all been excellent. Really helpful and genuinely takes an interest in my success and wants me to do well.

Really useful when starting out as it gives some helpful background to the london market and insurances as a whole.

Sometimes we have social activities which will include going for drinks/meals. There are also opportunities for networking events with insurers or law firms.

Yes

It is a nice place to work. The people are really friendly and can have a laugh. There's lots of support and knowledge for them to share so it really helps you progress your own knowledge and capabilities.

Just show that you have a great work ethic - they love people who work hard and have a willingness to learn.
