Careers at Castleacre Insurance

Discover a careers opportunity with Castleacre Insurance.

Join our dedicated team and build a rewarding careers path in independent insurance advice.

 

Why Work for us?

Castleacre advise heritage and private clients on risk management and insurance.  Directors Hugo Johnsen and Guy Everington established the company in 2005 based on their extensive experience with listed and historic buildings and estates, private clients, families and trusts.

Castleacre solely focus on clients who need more understanding and attention in relation to their insurance. In contrast to increasingly impersonal insurance services, Castleacre clients benefit from a direct relationship with a senior dedicated insurance advisor, who is there to help them any queries or claims.

Since 2005 they have been joined by other senior insurance and financial professionals from Lloyd’s and the City and the company has expanded to help wealthy individuals and families throughout the United Kingdom, Ireland and Europe.

A career with Castleacre offers the opportunity to develop deep technical knowledge in a truly unique sector. Unlike mainstream insurance environments, our work involves understanding the architecture, craftsmanship and historical significance of properties and collections that are often irreplaceable. Advisors regularly collaborate with art historians, surveyors, conservation specialists and legal experts, providing exposure to a wide range of disciplines. This creates a rich and stimulating environment for anyone who enjoys learning and tackling new challenges.

We pride ourselves on maintaining a workplace culture that values independence, integrity and long-term thinking. Our advisors are trusted to build strong personal relationships with clients, many of whom remain with us for years. This means you have the chance to make a real impact—not only by arranging the right protection, but by supporting clients at critical moments, such as during a loss or major restoration project. The work is meaningful, varied and deeply rewarding for those who care about doing things properly.

Professional development is central to our approach. We encourage team members to pursue industry qualifications, attend specialist courses and broaden their knowledge of heritage conservation and private client advisory work. As a growing business, we also offer excellent opportunities for progression and the chance to contribute to shaping the future of the company.

Most importantly, Castleacre remains intentionally personal. While the wider insurance industry becomes increasingly automated and transactional, we prioritise human understanding, expert judgment and genuine service. Joining Castleacre means becoming part of a team that values quality over volume, precision over speed, and relationships over short-term wins.

If you are looking for a role where your expertise is valued, your curiosity is encouraged and your work truly matters to the people you serve, Castleacre offers a rare and rewarding careers path.
