About John Charcol
Established nearly 50 years ago, John Charcol is one of the UK's most respected whole-of-market mortgage and protection brokers. With flagship offices in central London and Southampton and advisers operating nationwide, we combine experience, scale and innovation to deliver high-quality, client-first financial advice.

• Conducting 1-1s with advisers to discuss performance and KPIs, manage risks and drive better customer outcomes
• Creating, implementing and managing development plans with advisers to address performance issues, risks and development needs
• Providing coaching and development to improve adviser quality and customer outcomes
• Facilitating and delivering induction training as required under the T&C scheme
• Developing and growing effective relationships across all John Charcol departments
• Responding promptly and with appropriate diligence to any complaints received
• Ensuring adherence to compliant process within all sales and champion good Conduct Risk behaviours
• Presenting a professional approach with a high standard of service quality, integrity and conduct
What We're Looking For
Essential:
• Minimum 2 years' experience in a T&C, compliance supervision or 1st line compliance role within FCA regulated financial services
• Demonstrable knowledge of FCA regulation, MCOB and Consumer Duty obligations
