Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, but for every situation, Aviva is on hand to make things simple and to be there for our customers; for the times when they need us most, and the times when they don’t. Joining our Protection Customer Operations Centre of Excellence, you’ll play a vital role as the face of our company, ensuring our customers and financial advisors feel supported and cared for, every step of the way.  

 We don’t do ‘ordinary’ and we’re not looking for ‘run of the mill’. Our customers and Financial Advisors expect a great service, delivered by a great team. So, we’re looking for exceptional people who bring their whole self to work, who want to do a brilliant job and who love taking care of others. 

 If you think this sounds like your cup of tea, then we’d love to hear from you.

Skills & Experience required:

• We recruit for attitude and train for skill so we’re looking for positive, forward-thinking people who are as dynamic and passionate about our customers as we are. 

• We’re looking for people who are adaptable with good social skills and high levels of emotional intelligence. 

• Who enjoy working with other’s and who are comfortable making decisions, participating actively within their team or department and helping to shape the work they do. 

• We want people who are curious and caring, who want to make things that little bit better and who constantly strive to do more, so they can be more.

• Salary of up to £22,000 depending on skills, experience, and qualifications.

• Generous defined contribution pension scheme.

• Annual performance related bonus and pay review.

Working at Aviva

At Aviva, we’re people with a purpose. To be with you today, for a better tomorrow.

We bring this to life by ensuring managing risk is at the heart of the way we all work. We love people who do the right thing for our customers, and our colleagues. We want people who speak up, who take ownership, and who make good decisions.

The way we do this is important too, we’re all about our people – that’s you – so we can be pretty flexible. If you want to work from home some of the time or change your hours so you can pick up your kids or care for someone in your family, we’re very open to that. In fact, we don’t advertise roles as either part or full time, because we know each person has different needs, just as each business area has different needs. So, it’s up to you to discuss working hours during your interview.

We care deeply about being inclusive and that means we encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We want our employees to bring their whole self to work and that starts with you.

We interview every disabled applicant* that meets the minimum criteria for the job. Once you’ve applied, please send us a separate email stating that you have a disclosed disability, and we’ll make sure we interview you.
