Job Description:

Recruit UK is working with a well-established and growing Financial Planning firm near Sutton Coldfield seeking an experienced, technically strong Senior Paraplanner (5+ years’ experience, ideally Chartered or working towards) who can hit the ground running and quickly adapt to their systems and approach.

The firm has 25 team members across Financial Planners and back-office staff, including 6 Associate Paraplanners, and operates within a collaborative, professional culture focused on delivering high-quality advice. This is a career paraplanner role, ideal for someone who wants to remain on the technical pathway rather than move into advising.

You will handle complex technical cases from day one, with a particular focus on pensions and IHT planning (less emphasis on complex investment work). The successful candidate will be confident producing high-quality suitability reports independently, using internal templates as a starting point. The firm uses Intelligent Office and SharePoint.

This Senior Paraplanner role will be full-time office-based during probation to support integration and training. Following successful completion, hybrid working is available.

What’s in it for you:

• Salary Up to £60,000 (dependent on experience)
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Pension
• Death in Service
• Private medical insurance
• Hybrid working (post-probation)
• Strong team culture with experienced planners and paraplanners
• Career paraplanner pathway within a growing firm

Skills and Experience Required:

• Minimum 5+ years’ paraplanning experience
• Ideally Chartered or working towards Chartered status
