Associate Financial Planner
Location: Blackpool (hybrid working available after probation)
Salary: Up to £50,000 DOE
About the Opportunity
An established and growing wealth management firm is looking for an ambitious individual to join their Financial Planning team as an Associate Financial Planner. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to build a long-term career path towards becoming a fully qualified, regulated Financial Planner, working alongside experienced senior planners who will support your development every step of the way.
You'll gain hands-on exposure to both the client-facing and technical sides of financial planning — from client onboarding and relationship management through to paraplanning, research, and report writing — giving you a genuinely rounded grounding in the profession.
What You'll Be Doing
Client & Relationship Support
- Supporting planners' workflows by coordinating central services and working collaboratively across the wider team
- Preparing and submitting client due diligence and new account documentation as part of the onboarding process
- Organising client meetings, valuations, and meeting packs, and managing planners' diaries
- Acting as a first point of contact for client queries, escalating more complex matters where appropriate and adapting your approach for clients in vulnerable circumstances
- Managing client correspondence, application forms, and service agreements with a high standard of accuracy
- Maintaining accurate client records on the firm's planning software
- Handling finance-related queries such as invoicing, billing, and commissions
