Develop Your Career Towards Becoming a Financial Planner
William Highbourne Wealth Management is an established and growing independent financial planning firm. As we expand and relocate to our new offices at Woodbury Business Park, we are seeking ambitious and technically capable individuals to join our team as Technical Administration Associates.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys the technical side of financial planning and is looking to progress into a client-facing Financial Planner or Wealth Manager role within the next 2 to 4 years.
The Opportunity
Working closely with our advisers team, you will play a key role in researching, analysing and implementing financial planning recommendations while developing the technical expertise required to become an adviser.
This is not a traditional administration role. We are looking for individuals who want to build a long-term career in financial planning and who are excited by investment, pension, retirement and tax planning.
