A rapidly growing, well-backed financial planning firm is looking to recruit a Paraplanner / Trainee IFA to join their growing team – this is a key role within the firm’s expansion and holds the genuine opportunity to transition into a full financial planner position where you will inherit a large/established book of clients.
The Role:

* Be fully involved in the advice process while preparing to transition into an adviser role
* Ensure a smooth and gradual handover of clients to maintain continuity and comfort for all parties
* Undertake Paraplanning/Technical support for both the current Financial Adviser and book of clients.
This is a unique opportunity offering a clear and supported path of moving into a full advisory position and inheriting a client book within 12–18 months.
What we’re looking for:
* A Paraplanner with strong technical knowledge and excellent client communication skills
* Someone with the ambition and ability to step into an Adviser role in the near future
* Tech-savvy and self-motivated
* Comfortable managing a remote or hybrid working setup
* Willingness to attend client meetings in person when required (clients are based around Wellington, Taunton, Barnstaple, Weston-Super-Mare and along the M5 corridor) – you MUST live locally to these areas
What’s on offer:
* Remote or hybrid working with full flexibility
* Office space available in Taunton, but attendance is optional
* Competitive salary circa £45,000 (with flexibility based on experience)
* Bonus and company benefits
