Job Description

Trainee IFA

Hertford, hybrid working (1 day WFH)

£35,000 - £45,000

We are working with a well-established, boutique IFA firm based in Hertford, who are looking to appoint a Trainee Independent Financial Adviser. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Paraplanner looking to step up into advice or a Junior Adviser seeking a supportive environment to progress their career.

About the Firm

  • A close-knit team of four in the Hertford office, working collaboratively where every client is treated as "the firm's client" rather than belonging to one adviser.
  • The existing team includes two highly experienced IFAs, a Paraplanner (progressed from apprentice), and an Administrator.
  • A mature and supportive environment where flexibility, care for clients, and teamwork are central.

Details of the Role:

  • Work closely with Advisers to support and gradually take on your own clients.
  • Writing high-quality financial planning reports and ensuring clients receive the best ongoing service.
  • Opportunity to develop into a full Adviser role in a nurturing, collaborative setting.
  • Full or part-time considered, with flexibility to fit the right person.

To be considered for this position:

  • An experienced Paraplanner ready to step up, or a Junior IFA looking for a supportive home.
  • Someone who is caring, client-focused, and committed to providing excellent service.
  • Level 4 qualified or an exam away
  • Strong report writing and technical skills.
  • Happy to be part of a small, all-female team - collaboration and a good team fit are key.

Benefits:

  • Salary between £35,000 - £45,000
  • Hybrid working: typically 4 days in the office, 1 day from home (Wednesday).
  • Flexible hours and part-time options are considered.
  • Long-term growth opportunities within an expanding firm.

Apply today if you are a motivated Paraplanner ready to make the step into advice, or a Junior Adviser seeking a wonderful environment where client care comes first, this could be the perfect next step.
