Job description

Overview

The National Farmers Union (the UK’s largest farming Organisation) and NFU Mutual (a leading UK Insurer) are working to recruit ambitious individuals who would like to help build their own successful business.

In your NFU group Secretary role, you will be employed by the NFU and will provide assistance and direction on a variety of issues, sell the NFU’s range of membership services and champion British farming by representing local farmers and related rural businesses. In both cases you’ll develop and build strong relationships with your customers and members and become a leasing figurehead in the local community. Working for the NFU means that you will become part of our friendly environment. You will work with great people, recognised for their knowledge and expertise. Additionally, we offer generous annual leave entitlement and other attractive benefits.

Responsibilities

We expect by the end of your first year that your commission income would be competitive which is also uncapped. The potential to grow your business and the income it generates is up to you and can be as great as your ambition. You’ll need a flair for sales (doesn’t need to be insurance specific). You will enjoy building long-lasting relationships and be looking for the opportunity to run your own business with security and uncapped earning potential. Experience of or an affinity with farming and rural matters would give you a distinct advantage and a real head-start in the role of NFU Group Secretary. So if your ambitious, entrepreneurial minded with the ability to be a strong leader and are able to build profitable relationships we strongly suggest you apply.
