Trainee / Graduate Insolvency Administrator

At FRP, we are a leading national business advisory firm based in the UK. With over 900 team members, including more than 100 partners, we specialise in Corporate Finance, Debt Advisory, Forensic Services, Financial Advisory and Restructuring Advisory. Operating from 35 offices across the UK, Isle of Man and Cyprus, we are dedicated to helping clients navigate complex and difficult situations to create, preserve, and recover value. Our approach is known for being honest, clear, and considered.

As a Trainee / Graduate in the Restructuring team, you will be responsible for supporting your colleagues’ case portfolio. Your primary goal is to ensure all statutory obligations are met and the Insolvency Practitioner's (IP) duties are upheld to maximise returns for creditors. You will support on caseloads efficiently and effectively, managing your workload independently and meeting critical deadlines, which requires excellent organisational skills. Maintaining a commercial perspective is essential to uphold the firm's reputation and standards. Collaboration with managers, IPs, and other team members is crucial to ensure cases progress smoothly and close in a timely manner. As you develop and gain more experience, you will begin to start managing your own cases and will be supported on these cases by more senior colleagues.
