Financial Planner (Trainee Financial Planner considered)

Alnwick | Employed Role | Career Progression & Equity Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has arisen with a growing independent Financial Planning firm based in Alnwick, looking to appoint a Financial Planner or Level 4 qualified Trainee Financial Planner to work closely alongside the business founder.

This role would suit either:

• An early-career Financial Planner looking to continue developing their technical and client-facing skills, or
• A Level 4 qualified Trainee Adviser seeking the opportunity to gain hands-on client exposure and mentorship within a highly supportive environment.

You will work directly with an established client bank, helping to service existing relationships while supporting the continued growth of the business. This is a rare opportunity to become a key part of a small, values-led firm, with genuine long-term progression potential as the company expands.

The Opportunity

• Work closely with the founder in a highly collaborative environment
• Attend and gradually lead client meetings
• Build relationships with existing clients and assist with ongoing servicing
• Support new business enquiries and referrals
• Gain exposure to all aspects of running and growing an independent Financial Planning business
• Opportunity to become a key long-term figure within the firm

About the Business

This is a small but ambitious independent Financial Planning firm built around doing the right thing for both clients and staff. The business places huge importance on culture, integrity, and long-term relationships, with growth being achieved organically rather than through acquisition.

The successful individual will be joining at an exciting stage of growth, with significant opportunity to progress and develop into a senior role over time.

What They’re Looking For

• Level 4 Diploma qualified (essential)
• Experience within Financial Planning, whether as an Adviser or in a support/training capacity
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• Someone personable, collaborative, and relationship-driven
• A genuine interest in long-term career development within a growing firm
• Personality and cultural fit are extremely important given the close-knit nature of the team

What’s on Offer

• Employed role with competitive salary
• Bonus structure linked to personal and company performance
• Mentoring and development from an experienced industry professional
• Genuine progression opportunities as the business grows
• Future equity participation opportunities via EMI scheme

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to be more than just another adviser within a large corporate environment and instead become an integral part of a growing independent business.
