You’re not asking for the earth. But you’re level 4 qualified and ready to be an adviser. You’re fed up of false promises, glass ceilings and waiting around. The best way to learn is to do, but no one is giving you the chance. They are now. This business buys clients from its retiring advisers. Those clients need an adviser. And that adviser will be you. You’ll join an existing team of over 30 to ensure existing clients continue to get an excellent level of service. And you’ll build trust with them, developing new business along the way. You’ll get access to some of the best technology on the market and have the support of a dedicated customer care function. Your time will be with clients, not admin. Long-term you’ll develop your own client base. And when you’re ready, you have the option of moving into a self-employed role with a firm that pays some of the best splits available. Three of the team have "graduated" already. In the meantime you'll get a proper income. In year one you'll earn £42,750 - £44,750 and that's without a sales bonus. It's a unique remuneration package that works like this: • A starting salary of £30,000 - £32,000 (depending on experience), • A KPI/compliance bonus (client care/retention/file quality, not bringing in sales) that adds £12,750 to your pay in year one (and £15,000 from year two onwards) Once you're up and running there's also a sales bonus where you earn additional income as new client monies are invested. In terms of onboarding and training you couldn't ask for a better, more structured environment. There's an initial residential 4 week training course. You'll then join the team under the supervision of the Training & Competence department. They'll supervise everything you do until you achieve Competent Adviser Status. There's no throwing you in at the deep end here. After your induction you can either work on a hybrid basis or from home, going into the office once or twice a month. If you apply, you’ll work for a stable, growing business. One with a track record of staff development and a positive work environment. And one with one of the best pathways around. WHAT YOU'LL NEED Level 4 status via the CII, LIBF or CISI. It's as simple as that. Industry experience is useful but we've placed people who are level 4 and don't have experience. You could be a mortgage/protection adviser, paraplanner or administrator. Or you could be a second careerist. It's more about you than your background. Depending on location you’ll either be hybrid or remote with travel to Newcastle 1-2 times a month. So it’s best if you’re in The North or Midlands. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feel ready to become the adviser you know you can be? Click apply and we'll be in touch. If you don't have an up to date CV don't worry, we can come to that later. Everyone will receive a response.

Things haven’t quite gone to plan have they? You love being a financial planner but you’re at the stage of your career where you need support. You need access to clients. You need direction. In short you need a business to invest in you and provide the structure and resources for you to develop. One that pays a salary and puts clients in front of you - not expect you to find them yourself. This firm will do all of that. This national business buys clients from its retiring advisers. Those clients need an adviser. And that adviser will be you. You’ll join an existing team of over 40 to ensure existing clients continue to get an excellent level of service. And you’ll build trust with them, developing new business along the way. You’ll get access to some of the best technology on the market and have the support of a dedicated customer care function. Your time will be with clients, not admin. Long-term you’ll have the option of moving into a self-employed role with a firm that pays some of the best splits available. Three of the team have "graduated" already. But that choice is yours. In the meantime you'll get a proper income. In year one you'll earn £48,750 - £50,750 and that's without a sales bonus. By year two that will be up to £53,000 per annum without sales bonus. It's a unique remuneration package that works like this: • A starting salary of £36,000 - £38,000 (depending on experience), • A KPI/compliance bonus (client care/retention/file quality, not bringing in sales) that adds £12,750 to your pay in year one (and £15,000 from year two onwards) Once you're up and running there's also a sales bonus where you earn additional income as new client monies are invested. In terms of onboarding and training you couldn't ask for a better, more structured environment. It is one that has trained and developed over 30 advisers already who had no previous financial planning advice experience. Imagine how good they’ll be for you. After your induction you can either work on a hybrid basis or from home, going into the office once or twice a month. If you apply, you’ll work for a profitable, growing business. One with a track record of staff development and a positive work environment. And one with one of the best pathways around. WHAT YOU'LL NEED You’ll have around 2 years post-CAS experience as a financial adviser/planner with suitable level 4 qualifications. Depending on location you’ll either be hybrid or remote with travel to Newcastle 1-2 times a month. So it’s best if you’re in The North or Midlands. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feel ready to become the adviser you know you can be?
