**About Benchmark**

At Benchmark, we are dedicated to providing exceptional solutions and support to financial advisers. Our award-winning services cover regulatory, platform, and investment needs, empowering advisers to enhance their productivity, accelerate growth, and deliver value to their clients. We also operate our own Financial Advice business, helping families find tailored solutions to meet their financial goals and achieve peace of mind. Our commitment to good client outcomes and the principles of Treating Customers Fairly is central to everything we do.

We support our offices by using cutting edge software and hardware and our spacious campus facilities mean there's a great working environment for the team. With an on-site restaurant, coffee shop and gym, our campus has much to offer. And commuters can relax on our dedicated regular shuttle bus to and from Horsham’s main line train station.

- Develop a strong understanding of pensions and platforms within the industry.
- Follow procedures and instructions to ensure positive client outcomes.

**Requirements**:
