Darlington, United Kingdom The Verve Group Full time

**Ever wanted to get your foot in the door and start a career in financial services? Well, consider this the sign you've been waiting for**

**You could join our ever-growing team at The Verve Group and have the opportunity to learn the foundations needed to springboard you into a range of rewarding careers with us - namely 'the paraplanner', 'the compliance' or 'the administrator' role.**

**About the Role**

We always start with learning the basics first - it’s the best foundation for success. For this role, that means learning all about the billion-pound finance sector and the importance of people receiving sound financial advice. You’ll then move on to working on real client cases, getting to grips with the administration that's involved behind the scenes of any piece of advice, plus learning the ins and outs of an abundance of pension, investment and insurance products.

This will involve you getting stuck in and doing the role of a financial administrator, finding out all the finer details, getting on the phone to product providers and using research tools to pull together all the information that's needed to complete a case. During the course of your 6-month probation, you will tackle trickier cases until you have a basic knowledge of a range of products.

If you successfully complete your probation, you’ll then be incorporated into one of our available positions throughout the company. This may be in paraplanning, compliance, administration, or even technology (and there are many many more opportunities arising all of the time).

Soon after your transition, we will work with you to agree your own personal development programme for the rest of the year, with the expectation you’ll likely continue your education with financial services specific qualifications (all fully paid for and supported by us).

**About You**

We ask for only two things at Verve; you do a top quality job (we're not the place for people looking to do the bare minimum) and that you’re nice (we champion a positive workplace). So if you think you can manage that, and are passionate about building a career with us, then get applying.

This is a trainee role and so, does heavily involve a range of training - both of our internal systems and processes, as well as understanding financial services. Typically, it's a role that's always been popular with graduates (but isn't a prerequisite) and those looking to accelerate or take their career in a different direction.

**About Us**

The Verve Group offers a range of outsourced support services to financial advisers and planners. We have two key missions; to help support good quality financial advice firms to grow and develop, and secondly, to attract new people into financial services and help train them up, for the good of the future of finance (just like this role).

We approach financial services with a fun and positive outlook and offer a range of benefits to permanent employees to ensure our team feel supported and motivated. We reward loyalty and offer enhanced benefits to long-service employees, but as standard (once you’ve successfully completed your 6 month probation) these include

**Standard benefits**
- 21 days holiday, plus 5 days off over Christmas, bank holidays and your birthday off (if it falls on a weekday)
- Death in Service cover
- Personal Development budget (for exams, training, anything to help you excel)
- Company Pension Scheme
- Hybrid working with at least 2 days at home (more dependent on experience)
- Casual dress code

**What makes us different benefits**
- Enhanced leave for new families
- An annual ‘Volunteer Day’ used for you to support charitable causes.
- Health and Wellbeing programme, including a Verve hoodie and goodies
- Open plan ‘living office’ environment - including rocking (or sometimes dubious) playlists, beer/wine fridge and inviting breakout space.
- Two official annual company parties - summer soiree and Christmas
- The occasional canine visitors - we’re not a place for people scared of dogs
- Did we mention there’s no lock on the beer/wine fridge??

**The Money**

A starting salary of £20,500, increasing at key milestones as you progress through the training programme.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: MONDAY 1ST MAY (MIDNIGHT)
NOTE IF YOUR APPLICATION IS SUCCESSFUL, YOU'LL BE INVITED TO ATTEND A GROUP ASSESSMENT DAY ON FRIDAY 12TH MAY

**Job Types**: Full-time, Permanent, Graduate

**Salary**: From £20,500.00 per year

**Benefits**:

- Casual dress
- Company events
- Company pension
- Enhanced maternity leave
- Enhanced paternity leave
- Free parking
- On-site parking
- Paid volunteer time
- Sick pay
- Wellness programme

Schedule:

- Monday to Friday
