Life today is increasingly complicated, uncertain and unpredictable. People move through different careers, face unexpected moments and navigate important choices. We offer our colleagues flexibility, trust and benefits that work for whatever life brings. In return we expect curiosity, connection, accountability and high standards. We make room for what matters - so you can bring your best, every day.

You will have a strong track record within the advice industry with experience of advising clients with ‘at retirement’ needs.  You will have a high level of technical pension knowledge qualified with a minimum of CII Diploma Level 4. (essential, without this we will be unable to consider your application)

Lead, coach and develop a team of up to 12 Advisers,  to enable delivery  against key performance indicators, commercial, stakeholder and regulatory requirements. 

Meet the requirements of the Training and Competence Scheme Framework; recruiting, training and developing and maintaining the competence of advisers, as well as supporting attainment of competent adviser status and good customer outcomes.  

Develop and manage cross-divisional internal relationships, as well as external clients to create a strong network to support the achievement of business objectives and the referral of advice eligible customers.
