Louth UK, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom Castlegate Financial Management Ltd Full time

Castlegate is seeking a Financial Planner. This role will be instrumental in assisting the growth of Castlegate Financial Management and the wider Duncan & Toplis Group by developing our presence in Louth and working with the Duncan & Toplis team to grow the existing client base.


At Castlegate, we are an experienced team of financial planners based in our main office here in Grantham – with offices in 11 total locations across the Lincolnshire region. Many of our financial planners have achieved chartered status, which is widely regarded as the top qualification that a financial planner can attain.


This means that our clients in Grantham not only have access to a local financial professional (for convenience), but also some of the best financial advice available in the UK. This does not detract from our personal service, however. Our team is commended for its friendliness, approachability and emphasis on building trusting relationships.


Your responsibilities

Here's a bit more on what you can expect to be doing day-to-day:


  • Meeting clients to understand and document their objectives, attitude to risk, capacity for loss, existing policies, personal circumstances and tax status together with any additional information required in the form of completed file notes and fact finds, together with the use of third party software.
  • Discussing investment opportunities and disclosing related risks related to any relevant investment.
  • Recommending strategies appropriate to the client to achieve their financial goals and objectives.
  • Ensuring that advice and recommendations are compliant, well researched, comprehensive and documented.
  • Taking responsibility for client documentation and ensuring it is complete and compliant.
  • Maintaining the expected standards of service to clients, including conducting reviews of existing clients to monitor changes to their financial status and objectives together with any broader economic updates and making changes to their investment strategy as necessary.
  • Achieving agreed target levels of fee income and meeting the standards set by the firm.
  • Ensuring Duncan & Toplis Group Team Members are kept up to date and informed of relevant financial services matters.
  • Developing professional connections (internal and external) to produce quality client introductions.
  • Carrying out general duties, as requested from time to time, commensurate with skills, experience and status.


About you

We think you’ll need the following experience and qualifications to succeed in the role:


  • Must possess excellent communication, interpersonal, presentational and relationship building skills, with the ability to raise appropriate questions to the clients.
  • Being able to actively listen and explain complex concepts in a manner likely to be understood by a client.
  • Should be enthusiastic and willing to assist clients and team members of the Duncan & Toplis Group and be service oriented and results driven.
  • Profound knowledge of the financial services market, products, associated technical and compliance issues and to be able to understand and demonstrate adherence to regulatory rules, requirements and obligations.
  • IT literate, including the full Microsoft Office suite together with Microsoft Teams and preferably experience using some of the following software packages: Intelliflo, Selectapension, CashCalc, Defaqto and FE Analytics.
  • Good organisational, administrative and time management skills.
  • Must be self-disciplined and motivated with the ability to work alone and unsupervised or within a team environment when appropriate.
  • Must have a flexible attitude to work and be prepared to travel, with occasional appointments outside of normal working hours.
  • At a minimum must hold the Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning by the CII (or equivalent) and must hold a current valid Statement of Professional Standing, with a commitment to further professional advancement.
  • Must hold a clean UK driving licence.
