What you’ll do

Our colleagues play the most important part in creating exceptional experiences for our customers every day. That means delivering an experience that is better than expected, with every customer, every day. So, we want exceptional people to join our team!

If this sounds like you, then we’d love to hear from you!

Saga Insurance is a modern, fast paced and challenging sales and customer service environment where you will spend each day fulfilling a variety of needs by selling our fantastic range of Saga products as well as providing first class customer service to our new and existing customers.

Being exceptional every day on every call is not for the faint hearted! You will be speaking to up to 50 customers per day but if you thrive on a challenge, are at your best when you’re busy and can achieve demanding sales targets then this is the job for you!

When you’ll work

We are open 8am - 8pm Monday to Friday, 8:30am - 5pm Saturday and 9am - 5pm on a Sunday. Don’t worry, you’d never be asked to work from 8am to 8pm as the maximum shift duration is 8 hours,and you get 6 weeks prior notice.

So that we can prepare you to succeed and because there is a lot to learn, you will need to be able to attend training on a full time basis for the first 2 weeks.

Having spent our first 30 years focused on travel, Saga launched Saga Magazine and developed home and motor insurance and financial services in the 1980s. Private medical and pet insurance followed in the 1990s, along with the launch of our own cruise ship operation. The strength of the Saga brand provides the Group with the ability to develop in-house or partner with suppliers to offer our customers and members highly differentiated, competitively priced products that meet their evolving needs.

Saga exists to help our customers and members lead the life they want to lead. To succeed in this, we know that the most important thing to do is to listen to our customers and members. At the heart of our business model is our drive to know more about our customers’ wants and needs so we are best placed to serve them.

Applying this approach over the past 70 years has enabled us to become the UK's specialist provider of products and services to people aged over 50 in the UK. The Saga brand has become one of the most recognised and trusted brands amongst UK consumers in this demographic and is recognised for its high-quality products and exceptional standards of service. These include cruises and holidays, insurance, personal finance, the Saga Magazine, and our membership programme, Possibilities.

When you join Saga you will see that we are committed to treating all employees fairly and to offering equal opportunities in all aspects of employment and advancement.

We value diversity not just because it is the right thing to do, but because diverse teams perform better. Creating a culture in which everyone feels welcome and offering equal opportunities in all aspects of employment and advancement is incredibly important to us. Fair consideration is given to applications from all applicants, including those with disabilities and those over who are over 50 as we are champions of age inclusivity.

We are an official Disability Confident Committed employer and ensure that our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible and we will make reasonable adjustments as required.
