Excellent communication skills and a genuine enjoyment of working with people
A thoughtful, professional and client-focused approach, with an appetite to learn and grow
What’s on offer
£40,000-£50,000 for someone earlier in their career, or £60,000-£70,000 for an experienced planner
Hybrid working, with two days per week in the office, and a 35-hour working week
32 days’ holiday, plus bank holidays and Christmas week
5% employer pension contribution, with salary sacrifice available
Aviva private medical insurance, death-in-service cover and income protection (subject to scheme terms)
