Life can sometimes be unpredictable, and it pays to plan ahead. Our aim at Legal & General Retail is to help our customers plan for the unexpected, achieve financial security for their tomorrow, and protect everything that’s important to them. To better understand our customers and meet their needs, we’ve brought our protection, retirement income, savings, lending and advice, fintech and mortgage businesses under one umbrella. Created at the start of 2022 through the merging of our long-standing and trusted retail retirement and insurance businesses, we’re a fast-growing division with big, customer-centered ambitions.
Do you love helping to customers? Would you thrive in a role where you are talking to customers all day? Are you experienced in the world of customer service? If this sounds like you, then look no further! We’re recruiting for Customer Service Advisors to support our life insurance customers.
