Role Responsibilities This is advice without prospecting. Appointments arrive pre-booked through an established referral arrangement, starting with a fifteen minute introduction that converts into a first meeting and then a recommendation meeting.

The work is pensions, pension transfers and salary sacrifice, mostly over Teams, and the Financial Adviser is supported by a central research team that carries out the research and drafts the suitability letter for you to personalise. Ongoing reviews are handled by a separate team, so the diary stays on new advice rather than filling up with servicing.
