At Mercury Wealth, you’ll work closely with our Financial Planners to help turn clients’ goals into clear, practical financial plans.

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Paraplanner who enjoys complex technical work, takes pride in producing thoughtful, accurate advice documentation and contributes confidently to the financial planning process.

You’ll take responsibility for complex cases, contribute to planning strategies and support colleagues with technical questions. You’ll also attend client meetings and use cashflow modelling to help explore clients’ options and bring their plans to life.

• Provide technical guidance to paraplanning and Client Services colleagues.
• Mentor less experienced team members and support the quality of their work.
• Help improve our processes and working practices.
• Keep your technical knowledge current and maintain clear, accurate client records.

What you’ll bring

• A Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning or equivalent as a minimum.
• Chartered Financial Planner or Certified Financial Planner status, or active progress towards either through relevant advanced qualifications.
• Substantial paraplanning experience, including responsibility for complex cases.
• Strong technical knowledge across pensions, investments, tax planning and cashflow modelling.
• Excellent report-writing skills and the ability to explain technical subjects clearly.
• Careful attention to detail and sound judgement about when to seek further input.
• The ability to manage competing priorities while maintaining accuracy and quality.
• A collaborative approach and willingness to share your knowledge.

A familiarity with evidence-based investing and experience mentoring colleagues would also be welcome.

What we offer

• A salary of £40,000–£50,000, depending on experience.
• Hybrid working, with three days in our Teesside office and two days working remotely once fully trained.
• Discretionary bonus scheme.
• Support for professional qualifications and paid professional memberships.
• Private medical insurance, pension contributions, income protection and death in service cover.
• An office next to the Tees Barrage, with ample free parking.
• Opportunities to develop your technical expertise and contribute to how we work.
