Who are we?

Howden is a collective – a group of talented and passionate people all around the world. Together, we have pushed the boundaries of insurance. We are united by a shared passion and no-limits mindset, and our strength lies in our ability to collaborate as a powerful international team comprised of 18,000 employees spanning over 100 countries.

People join Howden for many different reasons, but they stay for the same one: our culture. It’s what sets us apart, and the reason our employees have been turning down headhunters for years. Whatever your priorities – work / life balance, career progression, sustainability, volunteering – you’ll find like-minded people driving change at Howden.

Are you looking to launch your career in the Insurance or Employee Benefits industry? If so then we'd love to hear from you!

You'll join our newly established "Risk Academy" as an Insurance Technician, where you’ll be part of a dynamic team, supported through structured training, professional qualifications, and hands-on experience.

This is a unique opportunity to build foundational knowledge in group risk and employee benefits while contributing to real client work from day one.

Participate in training sessions and complete tasks aligned with your development plan.

Work towards CII qualifications with full study support provided.

What We’re Looking For

A proactive individual with a passion for learning, demonstrating a meticulous and thorough approach.

Strong communication and organisational skills.

Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.

Comfortable handling multiple tasks.

No prior experience in Insurance or Employee Benefits is required – just a willingness to grow and contribute.

What We Offer

A structured onboarding and training programme through the Risk Academy.

Full support towards CII qualifications and career development.

A collaborative and inclusive team culture.

Hybrid working model with flexibility.

Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.

What do we offer in return?

A career that you define. At Howden, we value diversity – there is no one Howden type. Instead, we’re looking for individuals who share the same values as us:

Our successes have all come from someone brave enough to try something new

We support each other in the small everyday moments and the bigger challenges

We are determined to make a positive difference at work and beyond
