  • Building and maintaining relationships with high-net-worth clients
  • Assisting in the development of less experienced team members, including trainees and solicitors
  • Actively participating in marketing and business development activities

This role is pivotal in ensuring the firm's private wealth clients receive exceptional service. Your expertise will contribute to safeguarding the assets and legacies of clients, making a significant impact on their financial and personal wellbeing. The position also offers excellent opportunities for professional development as you grow within the team and contribute to the firm's ongoing success.

Working Options
The firm offers flexible working arrangements, including a hybrid work setup after the probationary period. While the role is full-time, the firm is open to discussing alternative working patterns to support work-life balance.

Location
Based in the firm's modern Guildford office, you'll work closely with colleagues from across the region. The role is easily commutable from surrounding areas and offers flexible working options.

  • Firm wide bonus scheme
  • Generous pension contribution
  • Ongoing professional development and career progression
  • Hybrid working options
  • A culture that prioritises work-life balance
