What are we looking for?

Geoff Jacobs, Training and Development Manager, explains what we’re looking for in each new candidate.

No experience necessary

Financial advisers come from all backgrounds - so it’s very likely that, like the many advisers who have graduated through our Quilter Academy, you could have what it takes to build an excellent career with us. We welcome new students from all walks of life. This includes whether you are:

  • Currently working in the private or public sector.
  • Returning to work after a career break, for example maternity/paternity leave.
  • Leaving the forces, professional sports, NHS, or emergency services.
  • Already working within the financial industry.

Change your career and secure your financial future by helping others.

After months of researching the minefield that is searching for a job as a service leaver, I was signposted to Quilter by the WEA. The idea of flexible working, reaping what you sow and daily problem solving attracted me most. I started the Academy in February and enjoy the new challenges and freedom that a career in financial planning brings.
