An excellent opportunity to launch your career in financial services with Asset Wealth Advisory. As an Apprentice Financial Services Administrator, you will gain valuable hands-on experience supporting clients and financial advisers while working towards industry-recognised qualifications.
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
As an Apprentice Financial Services Administrator, you will become an important part of the team at Asset Wealth Advisory, supporting our financial advisers and helping us deliver a high-quality service to our clients.
Your day-to-day role will involve supporting the administration of our clients’ financial arrangements, including pensions, investments, and savings. You will work closely with experienced members of the team and develop an understanding of the financial advice process from initial client contact through to implementation and ongoing reviews.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Supporting financial advisers with day-to-day client administration
- Preparing documentation for client meetings and annual reviews
- Processing pension and investment applications
- Contacting providers to obtain policy and investment information
- Preparing and issuing Letters of Authority

- Communicating professionally with clients, providers, and other third parties

- Learning about pensions, investments, taxation, and financial planning as your knowledge develops
We are looking for someone who wants more than simply an administrative role. We are committed to supporting the successful candidate in building a long-term and rewarding career within financial services. As your knowledge, experience, and qualifications develop, there will be opportunities to take on greater responsibility and potentially progress into paraplanning and, in the future, financial advice if this is the career path you wish to pursue.
