Level 4 Diploma Required | Clear Paraplanning Progression | Modern Independent Financial Planning Firm

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Senior Financial Administrator to join a modern, growing and highly regarded independent financial planning firm based in the heart of St Albans.

This forward-thinking business has built an outstanding reputation through delivering genuinely personal financial advice, exceptional client service and long-term relationships. Founded by experienced Financial Planners with a passion for making financial planning more accessible and transparent, the firm continues to grow through referrals and client recommendations.

They are now seeking an ambitious and technically minded Financial Planning Administrator who is looking to take the next step in their career and progress into a Junior Paraplanner position.

This role offers a genuine career pathway, ongoing technical development and support towards becoming an established Paraplanner within a supportive and collaborative environment.

The Opportunity

Working closely with Financial Advisers and Paraplanners, you will play a key role in supporting the delivery of high-quality financial planning services while developing your technical knowledge and paraplanning capabilities.

You will gain exposure to all aspects of the advice process and gradually take on increased technical responsibilities as part of a structured development plan.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Providing high-level administrative support to Financial Advisers and Paraplanners

  • Processing new business across pensions, investments and protection products

  • Preparing client review packs and meeting documentation

  • Liaising with clients, providers and third parties on a daily basis

  • Maintaining accurate client records and CRM systems

  • Processing policy servicing tasks, withdrawals, fund switches and provider requests

  • Assisting with technical research and suitability report preparation

  • Supporting compliance and regulatory processes

  • Delivering exceptional client service throughout the financial planning journey
Requirements
  • Level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning completed or close to completion

  • Previous experience within a Financial Planning Administrator or Wealth Management Administration role

  • Strong understanding of pensions, investments and financial planning processes

  • Excellent organisational and communication skills

  • High attention to detail and accuracy

  • Strong administrative and client servicing abilities

  • Ambition to progress into a Paraplanning role

  • Positive, proactive and professional approach
What's on Offer
  • Salary up to £40,000 depending on experience

  • Annual bonus scheme

  • Clear and structured route into a Junior Paraplanner role

  • Ongoing professional development and study support

  • Supportive and approachable leadership team

  • Modern, collaborative working environment

  • Exposure to experienced Advisers and Paraplanners

  • Long-term career progression opportunities

  • Opportunity to join a growing and highly respected financial planning business
Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Many administration roles offer limited progression. This opportunity has been created specifically for an individual who wants to move beyond administration and build a successful career within paraplanning.

You will join a business that actively invests in staff development, encourages career progression and provides the training, mentoring and support required to help you achieve your long-term goals.

For an ambitious Financial Planning Administrator looking to take the next step towards paraplanning, this represents an outstanding opportunity.

To discuss this opportunity in confidence, please contact Ryan Wootten at Financial Divisions.
