Receptionist / IFA Admin Support
Join a thriving financial services team in a part-time, permanent post with competitive pay, benefits, and chance to build office admin skills in a supportive environment.
This Receptionist / IFA Admin Support role offers a part-time, permanent role with an expected annual salary between £13,500 and £15,000 and a twenty-hour work week. You’ll gain access to a company pension, free parking, and a health and wellbeing programme, all while developing your career in a professional financial services environment.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Your core tasks revolve around providing front-of-house reception support, creating a warm welcome for clients, handling incoming calls, and managing office post and supplies. You’ll prepare and send client review packs, update records, liaise with providers for valuations, and support compliance procedures including anti-money laundering requirements. Organisational skills and attention to detail are a must, especially in handling confidential documentation. Proficiency in Microsoft Office and CRM software is key for success.
Pros of the Role
One clear advantage is the welcoming and stable environment offered by an established financial services firm. The benefits package is a strong incentive, ensuring your wellbeing. The role is varied, offering both front desk interaction and administrative skills development. A part-time schedule also enables work-life balance for the ideal candidate.
Cons of the Role
The admin workload can be intensive at times, especially when managing several tasks and deadlines. Handling both digital and physical documentation can be repetitive for those seeking only client-facing activity. Additionally, the entry salary is competitive for the sector but may not meet expectations of senior professionals in financial services.
Verdict
For those seeking a steady, supportive entry or progression in financial administration, this role is a strong choice. The mix of reception and admin gives broad experience and the part-time nature is perfect for those looking to balance their career with other commitments. If you are highly organised, proactive, and eager to grow within financial services, this position is well worth your consideration.
