What We're Looking For

  • CAS status (minimum of 1-2 years advising experience post-CAS)
  • Level 4 Diploma qualified (CII or equivalent)
  • Experience with corporate clients is not essential

What's On Offer

  • Holiday: 25 days, increasing with industry experience (up to 30 days)
  • Pension: 6% employer contribution (minimum 4% employee)
  • Life Insurance: 3x salary (non-contributory, from day one)
  • Private Medical Insurance: Available after 3-month probation
  • Income Protection
  • Study Support: 26 half-days per Chartered exam + exam costs covered
  • CII Membership: Fully funded
  • Hybrid Working: Up to 2 days per week from home
