Posted: 17/04/26
Recruiter:Ellis James Partners Ltd
Reference:3098625596
Type:Permanent
Salary:Competitive
Location:Altrincham, Cheshire
Description: Paraplanner
Altrincham Hybrid (2-3 days office)
£36,000 - £40,000 + up to 10% bonus

Join a well-structured SJP practice, supporting an established Partner Practice with a strong adviser team and a clear workflow, providing technical paraplanning support across pensions, investments, protection, and estate planning.

This is a role that values accuracy, autonomy, and quality - not just volume processing.

The Role

You'll sit at the centre of the advice process, supporting advisers in delivering high-quality, compliant financial planning outcomes for clients.
Your work will include:
  • Producing clear, compliant suitability reports and letters
  • Reviewing new business cases and understanding recommendations in detail before drafting
  • Running illustrations, critical yield comparisons, and supporting analysis
  • Working across a broad range of products including investments, pensions, protection, VCTs, and IHT planning
  • Maintaining accurate client records within Salesforce
  • Liaising with advisers and third parties to ensure cases progress smoothly
  • Supporting annual reviews where combined with new business activity
  • Ensuring all work meets internal and regulatory standards

What You'll Need
  • Minimum 1 year paraplanning experience
  • Level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning (or working towards)
  • Strong understanding of financial planning products and regulations
  • Comfortable working with systems such as Voyant / analytics tools / research platforms
  • High attention to detail and strong numeracy skills
  • Confident communicator with advisers and external providers
  • Able to manage workload independently in a hybrid working environment

The Environment
This is a role where you'll have:
  • Real autonomy in your work
  • Direct exposure to advisers and complex cases
  • A structured but supportive operations team
  • Hybrid working (2-3 days in Altrincham office)
  • Clear expectations and consistent workflow

You'll be trusted to deliver - not micromanaged.

Package
  • £36,000 - £40,000 base salary
  • Up to 10% annual bonus
  • Study support for Level 4 (if required)
  • Hybrid working model
  • Ongoing professional development

Why this role stands out
If you're currently in a paraplanning role where you're either:
  • over-processed with limited complexity, or
  • under-supported with unclear structure

If you're looking for a role where your work directly impacts advice quality - and not just case throughput - this is worth exploring.
