About NFU Mutual
At NFU Mutual, our reputation is built on deep roots in the agricultural sector.

NFU Mutual Partner Opportunity based in Downpatrick
This is your opportunity to develop and grow a substantial customer portfolio, build strong relationships across the local community and commercial market, and work in partnership with fellow Agents in the NFU Mutual Mourneview agency.
While commercial growth is a key priority, we are equally looking for someone who can contribute to the overall leadership of the agency and become a trusted partner within the business. The role is broad; you will get to work with diverse clients, deliver tailored insurance solutions, and help drive the next phase of growth for your agency.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Whether you are new to management or a proven leader, this could be the perfect opportunity to run a ready-made business, with full support from the current Agents and dedicated team of staff.
About You
This opportunity is ideally suited to ambitious business leaders, experienced insurance professionals and high-performing sales professionals who are ready to help shape the future success of an established business.
If that isn’t you, don’t be put off. We encourage you to apply if you have the passion, potential and desire to build a successful business, along with the following transferable skills:
- Strong relationship management skills, ideally developed in B2B, client-facing or community-based roles
- Confident communication to influence, build trust and engage business owners, senior decision-makers and local stakeholders
- Good planning and organisation skills to work collaboratively, take ownership and deliver results
- Commercial awareness, including an understanding of what drives business performance and how to turn opportunities into growth.
Whilst not essential, a personal interest or connection to farming, agriculture or rural affairs is helpful, given the agency’s farming heritage and the Assistant Group Manager responsibilities with the Ulster Farmers’ Union (see below).
