Insurance and investment group LV= is recruiting for over 300 jobs due to ‘significant’ growth, according to HR director David Smith.

Many of the roles will be based in the firm’s general insurance division in sales, customer services, claims and technical management roles, while other jobs on offer are within various head office functions including marketing, ecommerce, finance and HR.

The new positions will be based at locations around the UK including Bournemouth, London, Huddersfield, Hitchin and Bristol.

Smith says: “LV= is going through a period of significant growth so it’s a very exciting time to join us. When many other financial companies are making cut-backs we are actually expanding so this not only means that there is the opportunity to join us but also lots of great career prospects.”
