Senior Financial Planner

Are you a Chartered Financial Planner looking to take on a portfolio of higher-value clients, with company-provided leads behind you and the chance to help shape technical standards across the firm? Lumin Wealth is looking for a Senior Financial Planner to join our St Albans head office.

Founded in 2010 and headquartered in St Albans, Lumin Wealth is a Chartered firm providing financial planning and investment management to more than 4,000 families. We manage £1.6 billion in client assets and have been consistently ranked among the UK's top 100 financial advice firms by FT Adviser and Citywire New Model Adviser. After more than a decade of uninterrupted growth, we now have over 120 people across offices in London and the South East.

We're also part of VZ Group, Switzerland's leading independent financial services provider, which gives us the backing of a group of around 1,700 people as we continue to grow.

You’ll manage and develop a portfolio of clients that includes higher-value and more complex cases. Some will be moving across from existing advisers, and some will be joining through recent acquisitions. Alongside your own client bank, you’ll act as a technical point of reference in the office and support the development of less experienced colleagues.

To help you grow new business, you’ll be supported by company-provided leads, including Trusted Advisor, Lumin News, seminars and our wider marketing activity.
