Sales / Business Development Consultant

Bristol (Bradley Stoke office)

Excellent Opportunity for an aspiring Sales or Business development professional to join a FTSE100 organisation on an initial fixed term contract.

About The Education Broker:

The Education Broker is part of Capita Plc, and is a market-leading provider of Staff Absence Insurance (SAI) to schools across England & Wales.

We provide staff absence insurance protection to hundreds of schools across England and Wales. Our team of specialist consultants can help schools find insurance solutions that meet their individual needs.

SAI helps schools to protect their budgets against the cost of staff sickness. Thousands buy, but we are keen to increase that number.

The vast majority of schools buy SAI on 1st April, meaning we have a very busy 'peak season' between January and March inclusive, which is why we recruit an enthusiastic sales / business development professional to help drive business strategy during this period.

The role may become permanent for the right candidate.
