You will join us on a full time, permanent basis, working 36 hours per week and in return, you will receive a competitive salary.

Our passion for pets means that we are trusted by the Kennel Club and many other significant affinity partners to provide lifetime pet insurance in their names.
Working closely with animal welfare organisations, vets and breeders, gives us deep insight on what's best for pets. And we give back too - including supporting hundreds of animal rescues, protecting for over 80,000 rescued animals, and through donations of over £1m to animal charities.
We are a strong, growing business with a supportive ethos and family feel. We became one of the Sunday Times Best Places to Work™ in 2023, were awarded Most Trusted Pet Insurer in 2021 and are proud to be the only carbon positive pet insurer in the UK.
