Job description

Company Overview

Founded in 2006, Simply Academy Ltd. is a leading training provider specialising in financial services education. We deliver high-quality, tailored training solutions to individuals and corporate clients, with a focus on mortgage and financial advice qualifications.

As an approved apprenticeship provider, we deliver programmes aligned to the government's Apprenticeship Standards, supporting businesses in onboarding new talent and upskilling existing staff. Our practical, engaging courses are designed to help learners succeed in the financial services industry.

About the Role

We are seeking a passionate and knowledgeable FS Trainer and Apprenticeship Coach to join our team. This is a full-time, remote position combining two key responsibilities:

1. Delivering engaging training sessions for learners working towards the Level 4 Financial Adviser qualifications.
2. Coaching and mentoring apprentices throughout their apprenticeship journey, supporting their professional and personal development.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced financial services trainer to broaden their impact by helping learners develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to succeed in the advice profession.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver high-quality virtual and/or face-to-face training sessions for Level 4 Financial Adviser qualifications (CII or LIBF).
• Support and mentor apprentices throughout their learning journey.
• Conduct regular progress reviews and one-to-one coaching sessions.
• Provide constructive feedback on assignments and help learners set clear development goals.
• Work collaboratively with employers and internal colleagues to ensure learner success.
• Maintain accurate learner records and contribute to the continuous improvement of our programmes.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience delivering training for Financial Adviser qualifications (essential).
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• A solid background in financial services (financial advice, paraplanning, compliance, or training).
• Qualified to Level 4 in Financial Advice (CII or LIBF).
• A passion for developing and inspiring others.
• Experience in apprenticeship coaching or mentoring (desirable but not essential).
• Teaching or coaching qualifications (e.g. AET, CAVA, DTTLS) are advantageous, but training will be provided.

Why Join Us?

• Full training and professional development opportunities.
• Supportive, experienced team environment.
• Flexible, remote working.
• Opportunity to play a key role in developing the next generation of financial advisers.
• Make a meaningful impact within a respected and growing training provider.

If you're an experienced financial services trainer who's passionate about helping others achieve their goals, we'd love to hear from you.
