• Answer calls, welcome clients, prepare refreshments, distribute post and monitor the team mailbox for adviser requests.
• Issue Letters of Authority, chase provider information within appropriate timeframes and collate responses for advisers and paraplanners.
• Keep Intelliflo client records accurate and up to date, tracking outstanding tasks and provider correspondence.
• Produce risk profile reports and run anti-money laundering (AML) reports using Smart Search.
• Prepare initial client packs, maintain supplies of client-facing documents and support client enquiries and annual reviews.
• Participate in training, maintain your training record and provide appropriate cover for colleagues during sickness or holidays.

Training

You will complete your apprenticeship training online via your employers address.

After the apprenticeship

We want you to increase knowledge and move from our IFA Administrator role to a Trainee Paraplanner role, taking industry exams.

Things to consider

We have a second office in Billericay, so it would be preferable that the candidate be able to travel as they may often be needed to attend either office.
