If you are an experienced IFA Administrator looking for a role where you can be part of a genuinely supportive team, this could be a very good opportunity.

This position would suit someone who enjoys working closely with advisers, keeping things organised, and being an important part of the client journey. It is ideal for someone who wants to be valued for the work they do, enjoys variety in their day, and is looking for a business where there is real scope to grow over time.

You will be joining an established independent financial planning firm with a strong reputation for personalised advice and long term client relationships. Publicly, the business positions itself around clear guidance, trust, and tailored financial planning, while also highlighting a forward thinking approach and a commitment to helping people build rewarding careers within the firm.

This is the sort of role where you can build on your existing experience, develop your technical knowledge, and increase your exposure over time. For someone who wants more than just a steady administration job, there is genuine long term potential here.

The Business

This is a well established independent financial planning firm with offices in the west of Scotland. The business provides advice across areas such as investment planning, retirement planning, estate planning, protection, business planning and broader financial planning, including work with private clients and high net worth clients.

  • Managing diaries and helping coordinate client appointments
  • Supporting advisers with case progression and general case management
  • Ensuring service standards and compliance requirements are met throughout the client journey
  • You will also be a key point of contact for clients, so the role would suit someone who is professional, approachable and confident in dealing with people.

For candidates who have not yet had exposure to report writing, this is something they can build towards over time as their knowledge and confidence grow.
