- Assisting with the development and delivery of compliance training and process improvements
About you:
- Level 4 Diploma in Financial Planning (or equivalent) - essential
- Proven experience in compliance, file review, or quality assurance within financial services
- Strong knowledge of FCA rules and financial advice standards (pensions/investments preferred)
