• Any new business you organically generate will be fully recognised and rewarded.

• Level 4 Diploma qualified as a minimum; Chartered status or aspiration towards Chartered highly desirable (although restricted background candidates will also be considered).
• Comfortable servicing HNW clients and managing a significant AUM.
• Familiarity with platforms such as Quilter, Transact, and AJ Bell preferred.

• Pension Scheme
