Job description

A career where your experience can change lives.

What if the skills you’ve spent years developing could help people make some of the most important decisions of their lives?

A career in financial advice is about more than numbers. It’s about people. Helping them plan for their future, protect what matters to them and make confident decisions about their finances.

At the St. James’s Place Financial Adviser Academy, we help experienced professionals from a wide range of backgrounds transition into financial advice, even if they’ve never worked in financial services before.

We’re looking for people with the experience to make a difference and the ambition to build a new career.

Could this be your next chapter?

You might have built your career in recruitment, sales, property, banking, management, professional services or another people-focused role.

You already understand the importance of relationships, communication and trust. Now you could put those skills to work in a profession where they can make a lasting difference.

We’re interested in people who:

• Have at least five years of professional experience and a track record of achievement.
• Enjoy building relationships and understanding what matters to others.
• Communicate confidently and can explain complex ideas clearly.
• Are commercially aware, proactive and motivated to succeed.
• Have the resilience and commitment to develop a new professional skill set.
• Want to build a career around helping clients achieve their financial goals.

Become the adviser people trust.

Our Academy provides training and development to help you work towards becoming a qualified Financial Adviser.

As you develop your knowledge and experience, you’ll work towards building the skills needed to understand clients’ circumstances, identify their needs and help them make informed financial decisions.

You could pursue opportunities with one of the 2,600+ practices across the St. James’s Place Partnership, developing your career alongside an established financial advice business.

You’ll bring your existing professional experience. We’ll help you develop the financial knowledge and advisory skills needed for your next chapter.

Your next career could mean more.

More meaningful conversations. More opportunities to develop. A profession built around relationships, expertise and helping people plan for their futures.

If you’re an established professional considering a change of direction, we’d love to hear from you.

You don’t need financial services experience. You do need the ambition to become a great Financial Adviser.
