Senior Wealth Management Support Specialist

Senior Wealth Management Support Specialist 

Location: London 

Contract Type: Full-time, Permanent

Salary: £35,000-£45,000

About the Role

A well-established wealth management practice is looking to bring on board a senior-level professional who can combine deep technical paraplanning expertise with a genuine ability to lead and develop a team. This is a varied and high-impact position, sitting at the heart of the advisory operation — supporting a sizeable client bank, driving operational standards, and playing a pivotal role in mentoring junior colleagues.

If you thrive in a technically demanding environment, take pride in the quality of your work, and are ready to step into a more senior, leadership-oriented position, this could be an excellent next move.

• Take a proactive approach to identifying and managing risk across both client files and internal processes.
• Work closely with the compliance function to ensure advice quality and regulatory standards are consistently met.

• Set high standards for the team and support others in meeting them.
• Serve as a key point of contact between the advisory team and senior management.
• Play a supporting role in the operational development of advisers within the wider team.
