If you’re a paraplanner or senior IFA administrator who’s ready to take the next step into a client facing advisory role, this is one of the strongest development opportunities in the region.

This independent wealth firm in Buxton offers a fully funded, transparent route to becoming a Financial Adviser, with all client leads provided, zero threshold bonuses, and a clear salary uplift to £48,000 once you achieve Competent Adviser Status (CAS).

This hybrid position bridges high level paraplanning with hands on client advising. You’ll begin by supporting advisers technically, then gradually transition into taking ownership of client relationships and delivering holistic financial planning.

• Technical paraplanning — suitability reports, fund research, compliant documentation
• Client relationship management — shadowing advisers, attending meetings, taking on reviews
• Holistic financial advice — pensions, investments, protection
• Professional development — full study support, structured CAS pathway
• Compliance & ethics — working within a robust framework with ongoing support

This is a role designed for someone who wants to move into advice properly, with structure, mentoring, and guaranteed client flow.

• Strong experience within an IFA environment (paraplanning or senior admin)
• Ability to draft complex suitability reports
• Ideally Level 4 qualified or close to completion
• Within commutable distance of Buxton
• Strong communication skills, emotional intelligence, and genuine ambition to build a long term advisory career

• £38,000–£42,000 starting salary
• OTE £65,000+ (uncapped, zero threshold)
• £48,000 base salary once CAS is achieved
• Hybrid working
• BUPA private health cover
• Company pension scheme
• Full funding for all CII exams & study materials
• All client leads provided — new and existing

This is a rare chance to step into advice with no pressure to self generate clients, no cold calling, and a genuinely supportive team behind you.
