Investment Sense are recruiting: IFA and Administrator roles available

We are looking to expand our team here at Investment Sense and currently have positions available for a part time administrator and an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).

Investment Sense was founded in January 2010 and since then has grown into a multi-adviser firm, providing advice to clients and financial information to DIY investors, and other investment professionals.

We now need to expand our administrative team to help support our advisers and also require an additional IFA to help deal with the enquiries we receive on a day to day basis.

Anna Timms (right), Managing Director of Investment Sense, said: “The new adviser is needed to help cope with the sheer volume of enquiries we are getting. The fact that we need to recruit additional IFAs in Nottingham,  so soon after James Lee and Jessica McGowan have joined our team, is hugely pleasing. It shows we are on the right track, providing vital advice to a number of key groups, including business owners and people getting close to retirement.”

Anna continued: “Unusually, whilst we would of course be happy to speak to existing IFAs, perhaps unhappy with their current role, we can also take applications from tied financial advisers and paraplanners looking to move into an advice based role.”

“We generate a large number of enquiries, which is why we need to recruit additional advisers; the successful candidate will certainly be kept extremely busy!”
