Senior Commercial Account Handler – Leeds Salary: Up to £50,000 (DOE) + benefits

In just two years, this firm has already hit £6m GWP, and they’re only getting started. The team now needs a trusted broker to help manage a portfolio of high-value commercial property clients (think hotels, real estate groups, and corporate portfolios).

Here’s what you’d be walking into:
Directly supporting the Execs on a book of key accounts
Exposure to portfolio and corporate risks, with premiums that keep things interesting
A genuinely entrepreneurial brokerage that’s scaling fast but still has the agility of a start-up
The career potential that comes with joining at the ground floor of a high-growth business
You’ll need to know your way around complex commercial risks, be confident handling high-demand clients, and be the type of person who sees what needs doing before anyone has to ask.
The salary is flexible for the right person (up to £50,000) - and what you’ll get in return is more than just money. You’ll have the chance to operate at senior level, learn directly from the senior staff, and carve out a long-term career in a business where your impact will be obvious, not hidden.
If you’re ready to be more than just an Account Handler - and want to help drive a brokerage that’s already proving it can disrupt the market - this one’s worth a closer look.

Employer Description:The National Foundation for Retired Service Animals (NFRSA) is a registered charity (1200949) supporting retired dogs and horses from the police, fire, prison, national crime agency, NHS, border force and MoD Police services by helping with medical and veterinary bills, which inevitably occur as they get older.
When serving dogs and horses careers end, the financial support they have enjoyed whilst working, including food, kennels or stables, medical and veterinary requirements, training and equipment also comes to an end.
Unfortunately, affordable insurance can be difficult to find due to their age and training. This is obviously a worry for handlers who have their own financial obligations, and medical bills can become a real challenge.
As is widely acknowledged, the relationship between a handler and their working partner is second to none, and it is unthinkable the pair may be broken up due to financial pressure. Unfortunately, this does happen, and it causes great distress for the handlers, their families, and of course the animals themselves.
The NFRSA is there to help to ensure these wonderful animals can stay where they belong, with the families they love, as the years advance. It’s the least they deserve when they’ve devoted most of their lives to keeping us, the public, safe.
Since its formation in 2022, the NFRSA has more than 550 members and has provided in excess of £200K of support to retired service animals.
Our job, quite simply, is to ‘Protect Our Protectors’.Working Hours :Monday - Friday, Shifts to be confirmed.Skills: Communication skills,IT skills,Attention to detail,Organisation skills,Customer care skills,Problem solving skills,Administrative skills,Number skills,Analytical skills,Logical,Team working,Creative,Initiative....Read more...

Our work is grounded through partnerships – with more than 1,100 organisations in the UK and beyond – that fuel our research, shape our teaching, and deliver genuine impact.
Our rural campus near Newport in Shropshire is supported by a growing site in Telford, offering a range of housing options and excellent rail and road connections to the West Midlands and beyond. We’ve invested more than £50 million in our estate in the last decade – including leading-edge teaching, research and veterinary facilities, modern laboratories, and a purpose-built Veterinary Services Centre. Our commercial farm spans 494 hectares and plays an active role in our education, research, and knowledge exchange.
