Description
A prestigious and highly regarded Insurance and Financial Services business is looking to expand its operation in the North of England with the appointment of an Employed Independent Financial Adviser.
Our client is one of the largest independently owned Insurance and Financial Services intermediaries in Europe. With offices all over the UK, they have a substantial adviser base and a strong local and national reputation.
This is an excellent opportunity to join an organisation that is already operating to post RDR guidelines and standards. It is expanding rapidly and is well on its way to becoming the top provider of wealth advice in the UK.
Your role as an Independent Financial Adviser will be to provide expert advice on a range of financial products to a diverse set of clients, whilst maintaining the company’s service standards and operating within FSA guidelines. You will also be expected to manage the local relationship between two key business areas, in order to generate and maximise referral and cross-selling opportunities. Due to the size and nature of the firm, there is no shortage of new business opportunities and introductions.
It is essential that you are either already Diploma qualified, or are on target to achieve this by December 2012. Whilst extensive experience is not necessarily a must, a strong understanding of the market and a client’s needs, coupled with real drive and hunger, is absolutely essential. You must also have a degree of transferable clients, as the firm will not consider individuals that are entirely dependent upon its resources.
In return, you will benefit from a competitive basic salary and generous commission structure, as well as an array of flexible benefits. The firm invests heavily in the future and its employees, with a major selling point being a lucrative, long term incentive plan involving valuable share options.
