About the job

Admiral is an insurance company innovating its way through to the future. As a Customer Care Consultant in an award winning department, you will be flying the flag for Admiral, representing our FTSE100 Company to our 7+ million customers.  We don’t think of ourselves as an insurance company, more of a customer care company that happens to deal in insurance. 

You will work with a team of 10-12 upbeat colleagues who will become your second family.  We like to think of ourselves as a friendly bunch, so there’s always a helpful colleague around to give you a hand.

Whether you’re getting a quote, changing or updating your cover, we want it to be as straightforward and hassle-free as possible. Convenience and reward are at the heart of what we do. We want to make life easier. That’s why we launched MultiCar, and later MultiCover, combining multiple policies into one to remove some of the life admin that’s such a chore.
