• Maintain accurate and compliant client records
• Ensure all advice meets FCA and internal compliance standards
• Identify opportunities to deepen existing client relationships
• Develop strong relationships with professional introducers including accountants, solicitors and other advisers
• Contribute to the wider growth and development of the business across Northern Ireland

• Opportunity to join at an early stage of continued expansion in Northern Ireland
• Growing Belfast‑based operation
• Dedicated administrative and paraplanning support
