Quilter Cheviot has been the wealth manager of choice for individuals and families for over 250 years, and today is one of the UK’s largest wealth management firms offering expert discretionary investment management and financial advice. We offer a highly personalised wealth management offering to private clients, charities, trustees, and professional partners with straightforward or more complex financial needs. We have presence throughout the UK, Ireland, Dubai and Channel Islands.

We are recruiting for an Investment Administrator to join our growing team. The individual will report to the Head of Office and will work closely with our senior administrator, supporting investment managers and the wider Bristol team. The administration function is central to the success of the team, and we are looking for a candidate who can embrace and actively contribute to the existing high performance culture. The desired candidate will have a proven track record in providing effective and efficient administrative support, and will be motivated to deliver excellent service and client outcomes.

The role will cover various aspects of client account administration and other related tasks, with a focus on the following areas:

• A keen eye for detail, and a focus on producing work to a very high standard of quality and accuracy, is fundamental to the role.
• You should be comfortable talking to clients on the phone, along with writing and responding to emails and letters.
