Job description

 Are you ready to launch your career in financial planning as a Client Services Assistant? This is an exciting opportunity to join a boutique wealth management firm where you'll provide essential administrative support while developing comprehensive product knowledge and technical skills.  

As a Client Services Assistant, you'll be the backbone of client service delivery, working closely with Financial Planners and Technical Specialists to ensure seamless client experiences. This isn't just an administrative role – it's your foundation for a long-term career in financial planning.

This is a genuinely varied role where you'll gain exposure to the full client journey – from initial onboarding through to ongoing reviews.

This firm values their team deeply and has built a close-knit culture where people genuinely want to stay.
