Client Support Administrator

Fast paced, varied and demanding. Our client support administration teams work closely with the financial advisers and paraplanners to ensure that we deliver the best possible service to both new and existing clients. Supported by our experienced operations management and learning and development team, our client support administrators receive full industry training to ensure their knowledge is of a high standard.

The role within client support administration is perfect for experienced administrators and those looking to take their first steps into the industry. With dedicated training courses and funded exam study our client support administrators can develop their skills, knowledge and expertise in the role.  For those looking to progress their careers into paraplanning or advice, our in-house paraplanner and adviser academy programmes, can support you on your journey, when the time comes.

WHAT YOUR ROLE WILL INVOLVE

Our advisers couldn’t do the role they do without the assistance of our client support teams. From producing new business packs to being on the end of the phone to answer any questions, our advisers and administration teams work closely to ensure our clients receive the best level of service.
