About Sycamore Inverness

Our residential service in Inverness is one of two houses that Aberlour runs in the Highlands. Our experienced teams of staff seek to create a comfortable home for the young people where they can grow and flourish, participating in educational and community activities to achieve their goals. The children we support are presently not able to live safely with their own families and many of them have suffered from trauma and loss in their young lives. Working therapeutically with the young people, using a Dyadic Developmental approach, our aim is to help the young people to develop their confidence and self-worth and therefore to maximise their potential and opportunities for living fulfilled and happy lives.

What we are looking for....

We are looking for an exceptional group of relief workers to provide ad hoc cover when staff are on holiday or are off sick.

Work is offered on a casual basis: Relief Workers are not obliged to accept shifts offered and Aberlour is not obliged to offer shifts. In return for taking on this essential role, you will work alongside a dedicated, supportive staff team and be offered valuable training and development opportunities. Of course, if you are a good match for the role there will be the opportunity for you to apply for a substantive role when available.

• A key commercial role with a focus on the agricultural sector and beyond
• Create bespoke insurance solutions with the support of NFU Mutual

At NFU Mutual, we’ve built our reputation on, and succeeded in, the agricultural sector; a marketplace with a value of £15billion to the UK economy. Benefiting from an established network of tied agency businesses, stretching the length and breadth of the UK, we’re focused on developing our place and status in this key market, whilst also leveraging our knowledge and expertise to drive real growth across new business sectors beyond our core base of agriculture and farming.

As a Senior Partner or Partner in one of our insurance agencies in the Highlands or North East Scotland, you’ll quickly become a principal figure in an established team, using your strong people and client facing skills to forge new commercial alliances and build long lasting relationships to help grow an already successful business in this ever-evolving sector.

This is also a genuine personal growth opportunity, with an absolute commercial focus, underpinned by the support of one of the UK’s largest insurers.

Your experience and commercial flair

Working alongside existing partners, you’ll be part of your agency’s leadership team and a catalyst to growing the business at pace. Focusing on which markets to target and putting plans in place, your strong work ethic and innovative mindset will inspire the team to drive performance and deliver visible results. Able to combine an agricultural background or relevant commercial experience in managing large accounts, with proven leadership skills, you’ll create bespoke insurance solutions that meet the needs of a fast-changing marketplace.

The continuing diversification and modernisation of agriculture across Scotland provides you with a great opportunity to thrive in this incredible sector; wherever possible driving business growth beyond farming, tapping into local hotspots of High Net Worth clients and SMEs across a range of sectors. With the support of NFU Mutual and a strong and loyal customer base, this role gives you the independence to put big expansion plans in place, whilst ensuring sustainable growth.
