Full training will be provided. Why you'll love it here.

Quality checking letters and mail merges before posting.

Answering calls and handling routine client queries.

Greeting clients when they visit the office and preparing meeting rooms.

Creating new client records and updating information on the CRM system.

Preparing meeting packs for advisers, including valuations and relevant documents.

Once trained, will send Letters of Authority (LOAs) to providers and tracking their progress.

Drafting ad‑hoc letters and managing client documentation.

Qualifications

We are looking for a highly motivated self‑starter, ideally with an interest in Finance, Wealth Management or Financial Services, or a strong bias for administration.
