Traditionally our clients have had people train for this work from a variety of different backgrounds.  Some candidates have come straight in as graduate trainees and  have also had a number of notable successes where people have come in a little more senior in their career – typically from the legal  professions.  Our clients  soon realised that the discipline of their training was ideally suited to the nature of work that was undertaken.   Our clients  are not looking for in-house counsel  but they are looking for people who have come from a professional training background.  Typically the individuals will be in the legal field  and who would relish the opportunity to cross train into the off-shore field of wealth management.

Specific Programme for Lawyers

As mentioned above,  our clients had a number of notable successes in the past but typically these have been individuals who have contacted them on spec - rather than specifically recruiting from that field.    They initially commenced a recruitment campaign last year that resulted in the 4 newly qualified staff joining them and feel the time is now right to renew these initiatives Therefore  our client is seeking people to work within the financial services wealth management sector and use their legal  training as the background to cross-training into this work. Location is predominantly Jersey but they will also consider opportunities based in the sister island of Guernsey which is just a 10 minute flight away.

Opportunities

Our client has  an annual salary review process and a discretionary bonus scheme that is particularly related to the contribution of the individual.  No specific career ladder is prescribed but there are certainly opportunities for progression to senior level.  In summary - no lack of opportunities, down to individual merit.

Role

Client handling and client facing but not necessarily face to face as these clients can be based anywhere in the world.  Dealing with their finances and liaising with their intermediaries and professional advisors.  In somewhat simplistic terms – the combined skills of  lawyer, office manager and problem solver all rolled into one.  Dealing with prominent private clients or families who may have trusts companies  so we manage their assets on their behalf or for their beneficiaries where the client relationships can span several generations.
