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.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The trusts and estates offering is benefiting from increasing demand and referrals from across the wider business, creating a strong pipeline of specialist work. The breadth of the firm also gives the team access to expertise across complementary areas when supporting more complex client matters.
This is an opportunity to take a senior position within that growth. Alongside responsibility for an established portfolio, you’ll work closely with senior leadership on complex client matters, new opportunities and relationships across the wider firm, while helping shape the continued development of the trusts and estates offering.
What you’ll be doing
- Take ownership of a portfolio focused predominantly on complex UK trusts, estates and high-net-worth individuals
- Lead the delivery of compliance and specialist advisory work across trusts and estates, including trust accounts, inheritance tax, capital gains tax and wider private client matters
- Act as a senior technical contact for trustees, executors, beneficiaries and professional advisers
- Work closely with Partners and Directors on complex advisory matters and new client opportunities
- Develop trusted client relationships, identifying opportunities to broaden relationships and introduce relevant expertise from across the wider business
- Review complex work and provide technical guidance to colleagues
- Mentor and develop junior members of the team, helping strengthen capability across the practice
- Contribute ideas and expertise to improve processes, efficiency and the continued development of the trusts and estates offering
