An opportunity has arisen for a Client Administrator to join our successful and growing team…
Could it be you?
Wise Investment is an independent, employee-owned wealth management and financial planning business. Since the company was founded in 1992, we have provided financial advice and investment management solutions to private clients. Quality and excellence sit at the core of our values, and our team of experienced, qualified investment and financial planning professionals is committed to providing personal service and attractive returns through the development of long-term relationships with our clients. We manage portfolios on both a discretionary and advisory basis.
The main areas in which we specialise are long-term investment management, planning for retirement, generating income from assets, and financial protection. We also advise our clients on how to pass money through the generations in an appropriate and tax-efficient way.
We try to give advice that we would want to receive ourselves. Ultimately, our aim is to take the financial complexities and worries away from our clients and allow them to spend time focussing on the things in their lives that matter most to them, whether it is work, business, family, or simply enjoying a well-earned retirement.
The successful candidate will be working as part of a team that supports the wider business.

The candidate is required to have solid administration skills, communicate well with clients and other staff members at all levels and of all ages, have a clear and polite telephone manner, and be able to work alone and as part of a close-knit team to strict deadlines and under pressure.
