The highly regarded Wealth Division of a top Private Bank is looking to appoint an experienced Paraplanner to its Manchester city-centre team.

- Analysing client information, preparing cashflow forecasts and liaising with providers and internal specialists.
- Supporting a limited number of defined benefit pension transfer reviews.
- Attending selected client meetings alongside Financial Planners and developing trusted client relationships.
- Sharing knowledge, helping to mentor trainees and contributing to best practice.
