When meeting us, you’ll quickly discover that the best thing about the ABI is the people.  We’re hugely proud that 99% of our people think individual differences are respected and we feel empowered to bring our whole self to work without fear of judgment and embrace all our differences as every voice matters. If that sounds like your kind of culture, read on to find out how you can join us.

We are open to flexible, part time and/or job share working – please let us know if this would be your preference. We’re currently working in a hybrid way with at least 40% of time in the office. Please note this is a fixed term contract until June 2024.

We’re looking for a Policy Assistant to join our Conduct Regulation team who help ensure the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) policies, frameworks and guidance are fair, proportionate and work well for insurers, long term savings providers and their customers.

We welcome people who are new to insurance (most of us were when we joined!) – as well as those with experience.

What’s the job?

• Provide research and analysis to help formulate persuasive policy positions.

• Support and co-ordinate the conduct team’s event programme, web pages and weekly newsletter.

• Update members on relevant regulatory developments.

• Prepare drafts of policy papers and summary documents and contribute to policy development work.

• Monitor and help to influence the development of FCA initiatives.

• Attend, participate and support relevant Committees and Panels.

• Provide organisational support and coordination for team-wide processes and projects.

What skills do you need?

• Making the technical accessible – you can summarise complex information in a way that everyone can understand.

• Teamwork – you work proactively with others and are willing to help your colleagues.

• Efficiency – organisation and high attention to detail come naturally to you.

• Communication – your written communication is of a high standard and you have a good sense of how to build and manage your working relationships.

• Curiosity – you might not have even thought of working in policy before, but you’re keen to develop knowledge on insurance focused conduct regulation issues

Throughout the interview and assessment process, we will be looking for you to demonstrate the ABI’s values; We are Brave; We take Ownership; We are Appreciative; We are Human and We are Curious.

Inclusion matters to us:

We welcome applications from candidates from all backgrounds and we run our application process a bit differently – we don’t assess based on CV or past experience. We’ll ask application questions which are relevant to the role and the skills we need to ensure our process is fair, inclusive and everyone has equal opportunity to demonstrate their suitability.

We are proud to be a Disability Confident employer and are committed to making reasonable adjustments where required. Additionally, where practicable. We offer an interview to disabled candidates who meet the minimum requirements for a role. To discuss in more detail, please contact careers@abi.org.uk
