Personal Wealth Adviser

Job Type: Permanent

Closing Date: 20/04/2026

Schroders Personal Wealth aims to improve the way financial advice is offered, by making it more affordable, accessible and powerful for more people. We want to change lives for the better.

Location: Birmingham/West Midlands (hybrid)

Type: Permanent

Salary: £65,000 – £80,000+ (depending on experience) plus uncapped performance‑related bonus

An exceptional opportunity for experienced advisers – combining the scale of the UK’s biggest banking group, unmatched client access and the autonomy to deliver holistic advice. At Schroders Personal Wealth, soon to become Lloyds Wealth, you’ll join a business with the reach, referral strength and investment in advice to help established advisers grow a substantial client book without starting from scratch.

As a Personal Wealth Adviser, you believe that financial planning starts by understanding each client’s unique story, their goals and the life they want to build. You’ll deliver holistic, client‑led financial advice to new and existing clients, both face‑to‑face and virtually, taking the time to build a personalised financial plan that reflects their aspirations and adapts as their life evolves. We’ll expect you to use cash flow modelling and financial planning tools to provide clear, insightful advice.

This is not a cold-start position. You’ll have the backing of the largest banking group in the UK as you utilise a range of business development strategies and expertise to proactively explore the market to onboard new clients, including servicing a constant flow of leads from the wider Lloyds Banking Group, without sacrificing the quality of advice. You’ll be supported by robust systems and infrastructure so you can spend more time advising clients.

Why join us?

• Constant leads and referrals – access one of the UK’s largest client ecosystems. Lloyds Banking Group has a retail footprint in almost every local market in the UK, resulting in a constant stream of leads and referrals to the Wealth business.
• Career Development – we’ll support your ongoing development and additional qualifications within our transparent structure with clearly defined progression pathways.
• Flexibility – you’ll manage your own schedule, predominately working from home, meeting with clients at their homes or at one of our hub locations.
• Exceptional benefits – 30 days holiday, private medical, life insurance (among others) and a matched pension up to 21% (6% from you, 15% from us).
• Uncapped bonus – our uncapped bonus structure is designed to reward advisers who convert opportunity into long‑term client value.

What You’ll Bring

• Level 4 Diploma qualified (Chartered / Level 6 welcome but not essential).
• A strong track record of delivering holistic financial advice.
• Experience building lasting client relationships and generating repeat/referral business.
• Confidence in conducting client meetings and creating tailored financial plans.
• Strong understanding of regulatory requirements, including Consumer Duty.
• Experience using cash‑flow modelling to support robust advice recommendations.

We understand not everyone will meet 100% of the requirements, however we encourage you to apply if you think your skills are a good fit for this role.

This job vacancy may close earlier than the advertised date if a suitable candidate is found. We encourage interested applicants to submit their applications as soon as possible.

Benefits for SPW colleagues

• Generous Holiday Entitlement: 30 days of annual leave plus bank holidays, with the option to buy or sell 5 days.
