As we continue to scale, we are expanding our UK aligned hub model, designed to ensure advisers, paraplanners, and administrators work seamlessly together to deliver high-quality, compliant advice to our clients.

We are now seeking a Client Support Administrator to play a pivotal role at the heart of this model.

Role Overview

This is a high-impact administrative role supporting advisers and paraplanners by owning key operational processes, managing workflow momentum, and acting as a central point of coordination across providers, clients, and internal teams.

You will be trusted with responsibility, visibility, and influence — helping ensure cases progress efficiently, files remain complete and compliant, and advisers can focus on delivering advice.

• Maintain pipeline momentum, ensuring cases progress without unnecessary delay
• Provide regular updates to advisers on case status and next steps

Operational Oversight & Quality Control

• Take ownership of file completeness and operational readiness prior to advice and reporting stages
• Support the preparation and issuance of suitability reports to clients
• Oversee agency transfers and liaise with providers where required
• Assist in drafting, maintaining, and improving operational processes and templates

Projects & Team Support

• Support and help coordinate the UK re-patriation project
• Assist with internal projects, including template upgrades and process improvements
• Support the onboarding of new team members
• Provide general adviser support and workflow coordination across the hub

Requirements

Essential

• Experience in a financial services administration role (IFA / Wealth Management preferred)
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Confidence managing multiple cases and competing priorities
• Professional communication skills with clients, providers, and colleagues
• Comfortable working with systems, registers, and structured processes

Desirable

• Experience supporting advisers and paraplanners in an advice-led environment
• Exposure to transfers, new business processing, or re-patriation cases
• A proactive mindset with a desire to improve how things are done
