  • Assist with quality assurance, file checking and maintaining technical standards.
  • Maintain accurate client records and documentation.
  • Work collaboratively with advisers, administrators and compliance teams to deliver exceptional client outcomes.
  • Identify opportunities to improve processes, efficiencies and technical best practice.
  • Mentor and support junior members of the paraplanning team.

  • Minimum 5 years' experience within a Paraplanning or Financial Planning support role.
  • Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning (Level 4) as a minimum, with Chartered status achieved or actively working towards being highly desirable.
