http://jobs.ftadviser.com/featured-jobs.aspxThe latest from FT Adviser Jobs.Copyright (C) Financial Times Business Limited5Exchange Street has been exclusively retained by this North West based Chartered Accountancy practice to bolster their financial planning team by inserting a new consultant into their Manchester office. The existing financial planning team are exceptionally busy, writing sizeable sums of new business and managing a large amount of renewals, meaning they are not able to fully service the clients the firm has in place. This necessitates the need for a new adviser to establish contact with these clients and maximise the work the firm undertakes with them. Our client requires any applicant to be an experienced and highly ethical adviser with a demonstrable track record of success in the independent arena. Excellent technical knowledge is a high priority, backed up by the attainment of the Diploma in Financial Planning and progression towards Chartered status, something other advisers at the firm already hold. It is also advantageous if candidates have worked either with Chartered Accountants previously and are able to quickly build effective working relationships. As the only adviser based from this office this is an exciting and high quality opportunity for an experienced, ambitious and competent adviser to further their career. The package on offer will reflect the firm’s belief in rewarding their staff through good salaries that will be increased on an ongoing basis in line with improved performance. For more information on this role please speak with Andy Taylor or Robert Perry at Exchange Street on 0161 973 9600 or email recruit@exchange-street.co.uk. www.exchange-street.co.ukhttp://jobs.ftadviser.com/job-detail.aspx?id=100164Thu, 12 Jan 2012 17:09:20 GMTManaging Director for IFA firm We are an established IFA firm looking after the financial needs of commercial pilots for our parent, The British Airline Pilots’ Association (BALPA).

How will you invest in 2012? Our big investment will be in people. We’re developing a team of advisers to lead Prudential’s return to financial advice. And we’re looking for experienced individuals to help us. The Man from the Pru was once the trusted financial adviser for as many as one in three households in the UK. Times have changed but our values remain. And now once again, with Prudential Financial Planning, we’re reviving our great tradition of prudent financial advice. We launched the service in 2011 and already, it’s been greeted with incredible warmth. So we begin 2012 with the best kind of challenge: how to supply the demand and honour so much goodwill among our customers. We’ve been picking a team of advisers — both experienced advisers and in the future those that are new to the industry — who can build lasting relationships with 200,000 priority customers. And we’re investing to develop this team to its full potential. As part of this investment, we’re looking for an experienced individual who can prepare the team and equip each adviser to give our customers the peace of mind they seek from Prudential. We need someone who can design and deliver an inspiring and effective package of training. We need someone who’s been a financial adviser themselves, with recent experience in selling financial services — preferably direct financial advice sales. Someone with the experience, confidence and empathy to train senior people in new roles. Someone who has or is working towards a CII Diploma, or equivalent and who ideally has a training qualification. And someone who shares our vision, prudent values and sense of purpose. If you have these qualities and are excited by the opportunity to share in our big investment, then we’d love to hear from you.
