Job Description:
Senior Wealth Management Support Specialist

About the Role
A well-established wealth management practice is looking to bring on board a senior-level professional who can combine deep technical paraplanning expertise with a genuine ability to lead and develop a team. This is a varied and high-impact position, sitting at the heart of the advisory operation — supporting a sizeable client bank, driving operational standards, and playing a pivotal role in mentoring junior colleagues.
If you thrive in a technically demanding environment, take pride in the quality of your work, and are ready to step into a more senior, leadership-oriented position, this could be an excellent next move.
