“We are naturally excited by the new roles RSA is creating for the local economy.

“We are looking to recruit additional team members who really enjoy working with customers and have a great telephone manner, enabling them to give clear information, make it easy, get the job done and deliver outstanding service for our customers. Experience is welcome but not essential.”

Weekend and evening work also means that RSA would welcome applications from parents coming back into the workplace, students and anyone who is looking for more flexible hours beyond the standard office hours of 9am to 5pm.

Peterborough MP Stewart Jackson said: “This is great news for the city - a key prestigious employer announcing new jobs - it is a strong vote of confidence in Peterborough as an excellent place to do business.”

The campaign adverts will focus on six of our Peterborough “everyday heroes” – people who we all recognise for their outstanding contribution to our community.

People who embody the values that RSA is looking for - caring, team-spirited, curious, big-hearted, team spirited, keep their commitments and have that “can do attitude” we all admire to add to its current teams.”
