Vacancy - Trainee Account Handler

Simpson & Parsons are an independent, family-owned insurance broker and we have been trading since 1983.

We initially started out by offering Hotel & Guest House insurance to businesses in the local area, but since then our business has diversified and we now offer a comprehensive range of insurance products to both private individuals and companies of all shapes and sizes.

We have a very large and loyal bank of customers, which is growing by the day and for this reason we would like to recruit two Trainee Account Handlers to join our Hospitality team.

Whilst it would be ideal if you had some prior knowledge of working within the insurance industry, it is not essential. We offer a professional service and it is essential that our customers receive sound advice and recommendations, so full training will be provided.

We are looking for individuals with the confidence to join an established team, but make the role their own.

In return we offer a competitive salary and a friendly, supportive environment in which to work.

Do you feel that you would be ideal for this role? If so, we would love to hear from you.

Please send your CV and a covering letter telling us more about you to:

Pensions Auto Enrolment Seminar


LIMITED SPACES AVAILABLE!!




Auto Enrolment is one of the biggest compulsory changes in recent years most businesses will have encountered.


Here at Simpson & Parsons we have teamed up with Torquil Clark, locally based Independent Financial Advisers. They recognise the complexity, resource and communication required in order to meet your regulatory and ongoing obligations.


A number of employers are still unaware of when they are supposed to have implemented plans to automatically enrol their eligible employees by and although staging dates vary, the requirement for a 12 month plan does not.


As your staging date rapidly approaches, have you completed your plan for The Pensions Regulator?


We are holding a brief seminar for companies employing 5 employees or more at the Daffodil Hotel & Spa, Keswick Road, Grasmere on 16th January 2014 to address some of the issues you may face.


The session is expected to last no more than 1 hour, and there will be an opportunity to speak with the team at Torquil Clark about your individual concerns afterwards.


Despite what you may have been led to believe, auto enrolment is not only about the pension scheme itself; it’s also about making sure that you manage the process of enrolling eligible employees into a qualifying pension scheme. 


One of the largest elements of concern for the employer is managing the process of enrolling employees into a pension scheme and the constant need to keep track of who has been enrolled, who has opted out and when they need to be re-enrolled.


Places are limited, so if you are interested in attending the seminar, please contact Duncan Cramphorn either via email: duncan@simpsonparsons.co.uk or telephone 015394 47387 for timings and to reserve your place.  


If you cannot attend the session, but would like Torquil Clark to visit you for an initial discussion, please also use the contact details shown above.
