London - Hybrid
45,000 + bonus (flexible for the right individual)
Full-time
This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced SJP Paraplanner to step into something broader - a position where you can influence how a business develops its people, improves standards, and scales effectively.
As you build your way into the leadership team, you'll take ownership of training and development across the practice, working closely with senior leadership to shape how the team learns, performs, and progresses.
You'll be joining a high-growth, well-established business with a consistent track record of doubling funds under management every 4-5 years since 2010.
The next phase of growth is already underway, and this hire will play a key role in supporting that journey.
What Makes This Different
You won't be writing reports all day
You'll be influencing how paraplanning is delivered across the business
You'll help shape future areas including AI, risk management, and internal development pathways
You'll be part of building:
An internal Training & Development function
A Business Assurance team
An Associate to Adviser academy
This is a role with real visibility and long-term progression.
Key Responsibilities
Lead training, development, and competency across the PSS team
Design and deliver structured onboarding and ongoing training programmes
Review paraplanning work for technical accuracy and development opportunities
Maintain and develop the PSS Skills Matrix to identify gaps and progression pathways
Support staff through SJP accreditation and regulatory training (Consumer Duty)
Work closely with leadership on new processes, systems, and implementation
Deliver training sessions at company meetings and internal forums
Identify performance gaps and support improvement through coaching
Monitor quality of documentation and follow up where required
About you:
Strong SJP paraplanning experience (essential)
Solid technical knowledge and the ability to review and improve work
An interest in developing people, not just producing work
Strong communication skills and confidence delivering training
Ability to identify inefficiencies and improve processes
A mindset geared towards long-term growth and progression
This role suits someone who wants to step away from pure paraplanning and have a broader impact on a business.
What's On Offer
Base salary up to £45,000 (with flexibility for the right individual)
Bonus eligible role
Annual salary review
Private Medical Insurance (including dental & eye care)
21 days holiday + increases with service (up to 26)
Monthly "Family Friday" early finishes (1pm)
Christmas closure (additional days off)
Hybrid working (4 days in office)
A genuinely supportive, high-performing environment
Join one of SJP's top-performing practices, combining strong growth with a focus on quality, structure, and long-term development.
This is an opportunity to join at a pivotal stage and play a key role in shaping how the business grows - not just commercially, but operationally and culturally.
Next Steps
If you're an SJP Paraplanner looking for something more than just producing work, this is worth a conversation
