Investment Administrator

Blackpool | Financial Services

An established financial services business is looking to appoint a VCT Investment Administrator to join its team in Blackpool.

This is a varied role supporting the administration of a Venture Capital Trust (VCT), with responsibility across shareholder and intermediary queries, financial transactions, applications, AML checks, reporting and general investment administration.

You’ll be working in a regulated financial services environment, so strong attention to detail, organisation and an understanding of regulatory requirements are essential.

The Role

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Dealing with general shareholder and intermediary enquiries and information requests.
  • Assisting with daily, weekly and monthly transaction postings and ensuring these reconcile correctly to bank records.
  • Processing and allocating supplier payments and maintaining creditor ledgers.
  • Supporting the preparation and submission of weekly Net Asset Value (NAV) disclosures to the London Stock Exchange.
  • Assisting with the administration of VCT buybacks, including monitoring disclosures and maintaining website information.
  • Processing VCT applications for new offers and completing the associated pre- and post-allotment administration.
  • Carrying out AML checks and reviews on VCT applicants, including risk assessments and obtaining additional information where required.
  • Processing agency transfer requests.
  • Supporting ad-hoc projects, analysis and reporting.
  • Maintaining KPI information and supporting departmental MI.
  • Maintaining accurate departmental records and filing systems.
  • Supporting wider team activities and taking on additional responsibilities as required.
  • Keeping up to date with developments across the financial services and investment markets.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
