Life underwriter , Insurance Underwriting
at Jobisite in United Kingdom
Role: Life underwriter
Location: Remote
Type: Contract
Candidate must have level 6 authorized
Having authority level 6 or more at previous insurers is crucial.
Insurance Underwriting - We’re looking for an Underwriter to join our Underwriting department within Customer Services. We are looking for someone with at least 3 years experience of underwriting and a current working underwriting authority of a minimum of £600,000 Life, £300,000 Critical Illness and a working knowledge of disability benefits including Income Protection.
The client is looking for significant UK Life experience – international experience can in some cases be considered, particularly if it is from Australia/New Zealand, and this is due to how hands on the role of Life Underwriting is in other geographies with AUS/NZ being the most similar to UK Life processes and expectations/standards. Other international experience won’t necessarily be discounted, but it will depend on processes from that location and should be supplemented by UK/AUS/NZ experience.
What we expect from you:
• You will have a proven working knowledge of Income Protection, Life, Critical Illness and disability products
• You will provide fair and balanced underwriting decisions using the appropriate amount of evidence necessary
• You will assess all applications that aren’t accepted by our online underwriting engine – initial applications, additional information, amendments – and you will assess all medical evidence upon receipt from third party sources.
• You will do so in a timely manner within agreed Service Level Agreements and always with the customer and our reputation in mind.
• You will also provide a telephone service for pre-sale enquiries, being the first point of contact for our advisers when they are looking to place business with us, providing accurate indications of underwriting decisions and working with Sales to ensure advisers consider us their number one provider.
• You will have general knowledge of insurance industry codes and current practices
• You will liaise with Customer Services, Sales and our reinsurance partners when required, representing the Underwriting department in a positive and collaborative way
• You will develop a good understanding of the business and contribute to ‘best practice’ overall for our customers and colleagues
• You will be innovative, forward thinking and able to identify opportunities for improvements in our philosophy, processes and procedures.
• You will be able to demonstrate good lateral thinking and proactive problem-solving skills, have sound decision making skills and the ability to recognize risk events, manage and escalate these where appropriate.
• You will display role model behaviours in line with company values, have good organizational and time management skills and be reliable and flexible.
