We are seeking a detail-oriented and technically skilled Paraplanner to join a successful and client-focused financial planning firm. This is an excellent opportunity for a Diploma-qualified (or working towards) individual who enjoys building technical reports, supporting financial advisers, and helping clients achieve their long-term goals.

Working closely with advisers, administrators, and investment specialists, you’ll play a key role in the financial planning process — from research and analysis to report writing and compliance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare and produce suitability reports and supporting documentation for financial advisers
  • Assist in the creation and review of financial plans, cashflow models, and risk assessments
  • Liaise with advisers to understand client objectives and recommend appropriate solutions
  • Ensure reports and advice meet compliance and regulatory standards
  • Keep up to date with legislative and product changes affecting financial planning
  • Maintain accurate client records using CRM and back-office systems (e.g., Intelligent Office, Xplan, or similar)
  • Support advisers in client meetings as needed (optional depending on role)
Skills & Experience Required
  • Level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning (DipPFS or equivalent) – essential
  • Previous experience in a Paraplanning role (typically 2+ years) within an IFA, wealth management, or financial planning firm
  • Strong technical knowledge across pensions, investments, tax wrappers, and protection products
  • Excellent attention to detail, organisational and communication skills
  • Familiar with financial planning tools such as CashCalc, FE Analytics, or Voyant (preferred)
  • Comfortable working independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment
What’s on Offer
  • Competitive salary discretionary bonus
  • Flexible working (hybrid or remote options depending on firm)
  • Continued study support toward Chartered status
  • A supportive, collaborative team environment
  • Exposure to high-net-worth and complex client cases
