Employee Benefits Administrator — £30,000–£36,000 + Early Friday Finish + Genuine Flexibility
Coventry | Full or Part Time | Hybrid (office Mon–Thu, home Fridays)
A Corporate Chartered financial planning firm — a distinction held by only a small proportion of UK practices — is looking for an Administrator to support its growing corporate client base across Group Risk, Group Pensions and Group Health.
About the firm: established almost two decades ago by a founder with a financial services career stretching back to the 1980s, the business combines wealth management with a rapidly expanding employee benefits division. Its philosophy is straightforward: keep things simple, tailor everything to the client, and build relationships that last. The result is a loyal client base whose feedback consistently describes the service as first class.
About the team: this is a close-knit, established team rather than a large corporate. You'll work directly alongside a dedicated Employee Benefits Admin Manager, with Chartered planners in the same office, and a leadership team that includes people who built their careers from administration roles upwards
This is a role with two ways in. Candidates with existing employee benefits or corporate administration experience will step into a busy, varied client-support position. Equally, the firm will train a high-calibre administrator from a financial services / professional services background — the priority is accuracy, organisation and client-handling ability.
The role:
- Administering corporate Group Risk, Group Pensions and Group Health schemes
- Liaising directly with insurance providers by phone and email
- Managing and sorting scheme data in Excel with a high degree of accuracy
- Supporting consultants to deliver the first-class client experience the firm is known for
The package:
- £30,000–£36,000 dependent on experience, with flexibility beyond this range for an exceptional candidate
- Full-time hours of 8.30am–5pm Monday–Thursday and 8.30am–1.30pm Friday — a 4.5-day week as standard
- Part-time options genuinely available, including school hours or reduced days
- Hybrid working: office Monday–Thursday, home every Friday — a firm-wide arrangement, not a negotiation
- Structured training and long-term development within a Chartered practice
Essential requirements:
- Competent with basic Excel, including sorting and handling data
- Excellent attention to detail
- Confident telephone manner, comfortable dealing with insurance companies
- Employee benefits experience is advantageous but not essential — strong administrators from a financial services / professional services background
