Working closely with high-net-worth individuals and families, the firm provides creative and clear advice, particularly in time-sensitive or complex situations, building long-term relationships to achieve the best possible outcomes.

The Ideal Candidate:

  • Has experience in private client work, particularly with high-net-worth clients.
  • Demonstrates a strong understanding of inheritance tax planning, asset protection, and estate management.
  • Possesses excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build lasting client relationships.
  • Approaches sensitive and challenging situations with empathy and professionalism.
  • Is detail-oriented and capable of managing complex and high-value matters.
  • Ideally holds, or is working towards, STEP or SFE accreditation (desirable but not essential).

What's on Offer:

This role provides an exciting opportunity to develop your career with a respected firm that values both professional growth and exceptional client care. The position offers:

  • A competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
  • Opportunities for professional development and career progression.
  • A supportive and collaborative working environment.
