An opportunity to be part of a growing force

Let’s start by dispelling a myth. If you think that the Jelf Group is a stereotypical financial adviser and insurance brokerage, then we need to set the record straight.

We are far from typical. If the thought of working in a stuffy, unglamorous industry, sharing an office with a bunch of boring people in red braces and sock suspenders or dodgy frocks fills you with dread then you already have something in common with us.

The Jelf Group owes much, if not all, of its growth and success to a professional, dynamic and driven workforce. We are a business that believes companies and individuals deserve more from an adviser than recommending the same things, the same way, in the same bad suit.

Our company is all about doing things differently, challenging the way it’s always been done, and developing the way it should be done. It’s an approach that has been exceptionally well received, evidenced by our rapidly growing client bank.

Established in 1989, the Jelf Group is led by a talented, experienced, management team who encourage all members of staff to embrace change for the good of our clients.

Indeed, it’s the entrepreneurial culture, supported and encouraged from the very top, that enables us to continually explore and develop opportunities for improvement, not just as a business, but as individuals.

What do you offer that the next applicant doesn't?

You can’t pigeon-hole a typical Jelf Group person. As a diverse, dynamic and rapidly expanding business, our continued success relies on finding the right mix of people.

So how do you know if the Jelf Group is for you?

Well, if you are not afraid of hard work, have a passion for putting the client first and want to be an integral part of a successful team then you are probably looking in the right place. How do we know if you are right for us? If you’ve read the above and think the Jelf Group is right for you, and can add one or more of the following attributes to the above points, we’d be interested in finding out a bit more about you.

We’re always looking for…
• People with a proven track record, professional qualifications or an enviable reputation in one of our chosen markets.
• Those recently finishing full or part time education, looking to build, re-ignite or re-invent a career path.
• Individuals who can demonstrate solid, transferable, skills from previous employment.
• ‘Challengers’ who display an entrepreneurial spirit by embracing change, questioning the norm and never resting on their laurels
• Anyone who can transmit an air of excitement, passion, drive and commitment.

As a company that owes its success to the people we employ, it is not simply a case of appointing based solely on experience or qualifications, but all about finding the right people.

So, if you think that you’ve got a lot of what we are looking for, then why not tell us.

The fact that you are still reading suggests that you have not been put off. So, assuming that you want us, and we want you, what can you expect from a career with the Jelf Group?

‘Career’ is probably the key word for this answer. Our client relationships are formed on the understanding that we value long-term relationships, not short-term gain. And that applies equally to our people. We want people who are looking for a place to put down some roots, not bloom for a season.

And in return, we look to offer an environment that encourages our people to grow. Whether you are looking to progress along a chosen path, or gain experience in a variety of roles, we aim to support progression through relevant training and development. The opportunities are yours to grasp.

This is evidenced by the fact that all vacancies are offered internally before we recruit externally.

This approach is borne out by a number of our staff, and so it’s only appropriate that we let them explain what it’s really like in their own words.

Julia Sansom has progressed from Group Compliance Manager to become Client Services Director for Jelf Insurance Brokers.

“It’s a fast moving environment demanding hard work and accountability. The pace is so demanding you feel that you may not deliver, but you always raise your game as others around you do too.

In return for that commitment I feel I am rewarded, and have real autonomy to develop the business and myself. That's the real difference from other employers; there are plenty of opportunities to move around the divisions and develop.”

Abi Aspin started out as a Paraplanner and has now risen to the role of Senior Team Leader, managing several administration teams across Jelf Private Clients’ branches.

“I joined the Jelf Group in 2000 as a Paraplanner. I progressed to Team Leader of the Paraplanners which allowed me to further my paraplanning experience, whilst also developing management skills.

After a short break I returned to the Jelf Group as Team Leader for Jelf Private Clients, recently being promoted to Senior Team Leader overseeing teams across our offices.

Working for the Jelf Group has given me the opportunity to progress. This is a group-wide culture, so whatever career you want, whether it be administration or sales, there are real opportunities.

What’s especially pleasing is that, whilst the company has expanded massively since I joined, you never feel like a small fish in a big pond. We still retain a friendly small-company culture.”

Leigh Dauncey has embraced the opportunities for advancement, moving from an administration role with Jelf Insurance Brokers, to join Jelf Corporate Healthcare, first as a Telesales Consultant and now as a Field Sales Consultant.

“The Group has been as keen as I am for me to progress within the company and together we have worked towards a common goal.

The senior members of staff have always been supportive and approachable and are prepared to listen, making me feel a valued part of the team and eager to succeed.”
