We have an excellent opportunity to join an established St. James’s Place Wealth Management practice as a Wealth Management Administrator. This role will be part of the Partner Support Staff (referred to as PSS) administrative team and will support between one / two advisers. The role will be based in office in Moorgate, London.
Role Overview
This is an entry level role, highly suited to a graduate or someone with experience in the field looking for their next step in their career. Exceptional A Level candidates will also be considered.
The role itself will require you to operationally support one / two financial advisers within a team, assisting with business processing, meeting pack preparation, writing of suitability reports (using online tools - training provided), client servicing, booking in review meetings and general support administration.
