Junior Financial Adviser 
 

Salary: £35,000 – £45,000 DOE (higher for an experienced Adviser)
Location: Shoreham (near Brighton), East Sussex
Working Pattern: Hybrid (3–4 days per week in the office)

Requirements: Level 4 Diploma (essential), CAS (preferred but not essential)

About the Opportunity

We’re supporting a highly respected, fully Chartered financial planning firm on the outskirts of Shoreham-by-Sea as they continue to grow. With a strong flow of new clients and increasing demand, they are now looking for a Junior Financial Adviser (or experienced Trainee IFA) to join their close?knit team of 7–8 professionals.

This is a rare chance to join a firm where every adviser is Chartered, long?term progression is genuinely on offer, and equity/directorship is a realistic future pathway for the right person.

They’re looking for someone ambitious, hardworking, and genuinely excited about building a career in financial planning.

What You’ll Be Doing

This is an adviser-focused role, ideal for someone ready to step up and develop:

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting advisers and the directors with client cases
• Sitting in on client meetings and contributing to client advice delivery
• Creating financial plans and technical reports
• Building cashflow models, suitability reports, and recommendations
• Carrying out research and technical analysis
• Taking on your own clients over time as you progress
• Working closely with the directors, who will give you direction and guidance on advice strategy

Most paraplanning is outsourced, so your time will be far more client?centric, technical, and development-focused.

What They’re Looking For

You’ll fit this role if you are:

• Level 4 Diploma qualified (essential)
• CAS preferred (not essential)
• Someone driven, ambitious, proactive, and wanting to become Chartered within 24 months, who has long-term career progression aspirations
• Comfortable being in the office 3–4 days per week (most clients attend meetings onsite)
• Keen to learn, build your client base, and eventually step into a senior Adviser position
• Looking for a firm where you can grow into a future Director and potentially take on equity

They’re also open to a more experienced Adviser who is looking for long-term career progression in a highly professional, Chartered environment.

Why Join This Firm?

• Work alongside Chartered advisers only – exceptional environment for development
• Clear pathway toward Chartered status, support provided
• Long-term plan for new Advisers to move into leadership and equity
• Growing footprint around Sussex, Brighton, and London
• Busy practice with plenty of client work from day one
• Directors are hands-on, supportive, and committed to developing their next leader

Next Steps

First interviews will be held via Teams for an informal initial conversation.
