Mortgage Adviser, Trainee IFA (with or without Diploma Level 4)

About Us

We are an Independent Financial Services practice serving around 1000 clients. We provide the full range of financial services; pensions and investments, mortgages and insurance and retirement financial planning advice.

Our mortgages services team support a wide range of clients with personal and commercial mortgage and insurance needs but they also work closely with the financial advisers to ensure that our clients receive the full package of care with regards to their retirement and investment needs.

From 2016 to the current time we have been building a business model which relies on suitably qualified and skilled mortgage advisers who not only wish to support and bring in business with regards to transactional clients, but who also wish to build a portfolio of clients where the full range of financial planning needs can be provided. To this end our mortgage service has become a suitable training ground for those who wish to further their careers in the area of financial advice, securing Diploma Level 4 in the process, whilst supporting the mortgage function of the business.

Who are we looking for?
