Ecclesiastical Jobs - Careers At Ecclesiastical

We’re changing what it means to work in financial services – Be our difference

Ecclesiastical UK is a different kind of insurance and risk management company. As part of the Benefact Group we are owned by a charity; driven by something far greater than the need to satisfy shareholders. We are united by a belief that everyone benefits from better business – doing right by our customers enables us to give all our available profits back to charities and good causes, to better the communities that we live in.

As a business, we’ve been trusted to protect some of the UK’s best-loved and most iconic buildings for over a century, and we’re not standing still. We’re a forward thinking, energetic organisation entering new markets, with an ambition to double our size, because when we grow, we give back more.

We have a unique company culture which brings a genuinely human touch to all that we do. You’ll experience a warm, welcoming and caring team, with authentic leadership. We are also commercial, empowered and trusted with real specialist expertise across our business. These aren’t just words, it’s backed up by our ‘world class’ employer ranking with Best companies, and excellent satisfaction ratings from our customers and brokers.

Our teams

Underwriting

Our seven specialist underwriting teams support front-line underwriters and deliver market-leading, customer-focused products and propositions. Join us and you could be setting strategy, managing our risk appetite, strengthening underwriting performance, analysing portfolio performance or managing continuous improvement and change.
Risk Management

In this team, we help to reduce both risk and claims by working closely with customers to assess and manage their evolving exposure to both strategic and operational risk. We also share our expertise and campaign on risk issues. As a risk manager, you’ll be delivering on-site risk consultancy, and often valuing a client property to ensure they’re adequately covered.
Claims

In our award-winning^* claims teams in Gloucester, Manchester and London, we provide a sensitive, helpful and effective service when our customers need us most. We work fast to assess what their policy covers, and involve them in our decision-making. Join us and you’ll help guide them through the claims process to ensure the best outcomes.
