We are considering individuals with a range of experience but are ideally looking for someone who is up to 3 years PQE.

This is a role where your voice will be heard, with genuine scope for a challenging, but supported career. On top of that, you’ll have first-class support from our award-winning Marketing Team, to assist with business development opportunities.

You will help look after people, their affairs, and their wealth. You’ll handle the whole range of:

* Wills

* Trusts

* LPAs

* Complex Estates & administration

* Probate

* Estate & inheritance planning

Whilst STEP is preferable, we can help you get there if you are working towards it. You’ll make a difference here and this is a role that will grow with you.

A strong team ethic, attention to detail, willingness to bring others on, a desire to make a difference and a passion for working with a smile are essential!

Benefits:

* Competitive salary

* Competitive holiday entitlement increasing with length of service and options to buy more.

* Death in service benefit (after qualifying period) paying 3 x salary.

* BUPA cover (on passing probation)

* Permanent Health Insurance (Group Income Protection).

* Pension scheme with matched contributions up to 4%.

* Health Cash Plans available and Health screening.

* Paid volunteer leave.

* Regular long service awards and annual staff recognition awards.

* Salary sacrifice scheme– a tax-efficient way to get into a new car.

Many of our current partners trained with the firm and progressed to Head of Team or Board member positions, so the opportunities really are there for promotion. You’ll also be an integral part of the firm, potentially having a say in budgets, recruitment, input to marketing, business development and the overall strategy for developing your chosen market.

Please note, that our PQE requirements are for guide purposes. If you have more or fewer years of experience than is specified, we would still love to hear from you
