Are you an experienced Training & Competence professional looking to take a hands-on role within a growing Private Wealth business?
We are partnering with an established financial services organisation to recruit a Training & Competence Manager to oversee the practical delivery and ongoing development of its Training & Competence (T&C) framework.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong background in regulated financial advice to work closely with Advisers, Compliance and senior stakeholders, ensuring individuals maintain the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to deliver high-quality, suitable advice to clients.
The role will combine adviser assessment, training delivery, regulatory oversight and ongoing competence management, with a particular focus on supporting the Private Wealth adviser population.
Key Responsibilities
- Training & Competence Delivery: Support the day-to-day operation of the T&C framework, ensuring advisers and colleagues in regulated roles meet internal and regulatory competence requirements.
- Training & Development: Design, deliver and coordinate practical training programmes, tailoring content to the needs of advisers and colleagues across the business.
- Competence Assessments: Conduct regular assessments through client meeting observations, role plays, product and knowledge testing, file reviews and CPD assessments.
- Adviser Development: Provide constructive feedback and work directly with advisers and their managers to address knowledge gaps, suitability concerns and areas for improvement.
- Improvement Plans: Develop and manage Adviser Improvement Plans, setting clear objectives, timelines and appropriate support to improve performance and competence.
- Management Information: Maintain accurate T&C records and produce MI highlighting assessment outcomes, training completion, competence trends and emerging risks.
- SMCR & Certification: Support the annual certification process by reviewing competence evidence, identifying gaps and helping demonstrate that Certified Persons remain fit and proper.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Work closely with Private Wealth, Compliance, People and senior management to ensure the T&C framework remains effective, relevant and aligned with regulatory expectations.
- Regulatory Standards: Support the delivery of suitable investment advice, promoting good customer outcomes and alignment with FCA Consumer Duty requirements.
