What is...

admin and clerical assistant insurance?

Whether you’re a freelance assistant, executive administrator or anything in between, you should consider having the right insurance in place. When working with clients, there is always risk involved and you can never remove it completely.

Clerical insurance could help protect your day-to-day work against financial risks and covers your back from things that could go wrong with clients or members of the public and you face a claim.

What types of admin assistants need insurance?

Here is an example of the type of administrators we can help:

  • Freelance administrative professionals
  • Office administrators
  • Virtual assistants
  • Corporate executive assistants
  • Temporary and contract clerical workers
  • Remote administrative support specialists

Can’t see yourself on the list? Whether you’re self-employed or run a small business, it’s likely we can help. Get in touch with us today.

Why do admin and clerical assistants need cover?

If you work closely with clients and with sensitive information, you might run into the following risks:

  • A client claims you made a costly mistake
  • You trip and injure yourself at work
  • Your work equipment is stolen or damaged
  • You accidentally damage a client or employer's property

If you employ anyone to work for you (including volunteers), you’ll need to take out employers’ liability insurance as a legal requirement. If you are self-employed or contracted and work alone, you won’t need this.

What doesn’t it cover?

Although not every insurer is the same, you’re likely to see some exclusions. Always refer to your policy wording to see what’s included and excluded. You may see the following exclusions:

  • Deliberate malpractice or negligence
  • Personal liability unrelated to your business
  • Claims arising from illegal activities
  • Work outside your usual admin work

How much does admin assistant insurance cost?

Admin insurance could start from 54p a day*

But no two insurers are the same, so it’s difficult to give a solid figure for what you might be paying for an annual insurance policy. The following will affect the price of your premiums: 

  • Extent of cover - The more cover you opt for, the more expensive your package is likely to be. 
  • Your insurer - The insurer you choose will also influence costs. 
  • Experience level - Your insurer could take into account how long you’ve been qualified.
  • Location  – Where you work is taken into consideration when calculating the price of your premiums. 
  • Claims history - Whether or not you’ve had previous claims made against you or you have made previous claims may affect your future premiums.

*The price is for an office and surgeries policy  – 10% of customers who were sold with one of our panel providers paid £197.16 or less annually (excluding any additional administration fees) between 01/01/25 & 31/12/2025. Equivalent to £16.43 a month or £0.54 a day (and excludes the extra costs for paying monthly). Your actual policy and price may vary based on your business requirements.

Admin & Clerical Assistant Insurance FAQs

Do you legally need insurance for an admin & clerical assistant?

While not a legal requirement in the UK, professional indemnity insurance could be seen as essential for admin assistants. You may even find it’s required by clients when signing a contract for securing new work. 

If you have any employees, employers' liability insurance is legally required, so you’ll need to take this out. Start a quote online today to get started.

Do remote or part-time clerical assistants need cover?

If you work part-time or remotely, you still need to consider insurance cover. Always tell your broker the details of your work so they can arrange the appropriate coverage.

How do you know if you have enough cover?

It is always best to discuss your needs with your broker. They will need to understand the size of your business, the value of the equipment you use and the type of work you do. Learn more in our guide what insurance do I need?
