Assistant Underwriter – Bristol

About SSR

Sutton Specialist Risks (SSR) is a long‑established wholesale broker and MGA, specialising in liabilities‑led commercial insurance placed on a delegated authority basis. For over 35 years, we’ve supported insurance brokers across the UK with sector‑leading products and deep technical expertise.

Our underwriting team creates tailored solutions for a wide range of specialist industries including security, electrical contracting, renewable energy, facilities services, pest control, aviation products, and more. You can learn about our products at www.ssr.co.uk.

Our Bristol waterfront office offers a collaborative workplace close to Cabot Circus and Temple Meads, with hybrid working available.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an efficient, proactive and commercially minded Assistant Underwriter to join our growing team. This is an ideal role for someone early in their insurance career who is ambitious, confident communicating with brokers, and keen to build strong technical underwriting skills through hands‑on experience.

Underwriting experience isn’t required – but a background in financial services or another regulated environment, plus a strong academic foundation, will help you succeed.

What you'll be doing

You will support our Underwriters in delivering profitable growth, providing excellent broker service, and maintaining high retention rates. Key responsibilities include:

Assisting with the assessment and underwriting of risks within a delegated authority framework
Helping drive new business and renewal performance
Managing and allocating submissions from shared inboxes
Preparing documentation, updating records, and supporting quote and bind processes
Building strong, professional relationships with both brokers and insurer partners
Maintaining accuracy and attention to detail across all workstreams
Learning the foundations of underwriting through structured mentoring and on‑the‑job training

This is a fast‑paced, deadline‑driven role that suits someone who is organised, diligent, and motivated by achieving results.

What we're looking for

A confident communicator who enjoys speaking with brokers and negotiating terms
A dynamic, sales‑positive attitude with the drive to hit team targets
Strong organisation and time‑management skills
High attention to detail and accuracy in a technical environment
Comfortable working with numbers, analysing information and learning underwriting concepts
Competent using Microsoft Outlook, Excel and Word
Experience in insurance or financial services is preferred but not essential
Prior Acturis experience is an advantage but full training is available
Degree‑level education is preferred, though we welcome applications from strong early‑career candidates

What you’ll get in return

25 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays, increasing with service
Enhanced family‑friendly policies
Additional milestone leave for major life events
Pension with 5% employer match
Company cash‑plan healthcare benefit
Income protection and life assurance
Regular company social events
Funded professional development and study support
Hybrid working up to two days per week
Supportive team culture with genuine progression opportunities
Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, with a one‑hour lunch break

Location

Bristol BS1 (Hybrid remote once established in the role)

Work authorisation
United Kingdom (required)

SSR is an equal opportunity employer. We value diversity and are committed to building an inclusive environment for all colleagues.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: From £27,500.00 per year
