About The Role
We are looking for an organised and proactive Trainee Paraplanner to join a growing financial planning business in Swindon.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience in IFA administration or financial services who wants to develop their technical knowledge and progress into paraplanning.

- Assist with technical research, product comparisons, and the preparation of suitability reports.
- Support new business applications and track cases through to completion.
- Liaise with clients, providers, and colleagues to obtain outstanding information and resolve queries.
- Maintain accurate client records and ensure documentation is complete and up to date.
- Develop technical knowledge of pensions, investments, and the wider financial planning process.
