Openwork is looking to recruit graduate trainees to work with advice firms while they move to a new customer relationship management system.
The network wants to hire 25 graduates to support existing advice firms adopting CRM technology ConcertHub.
“This system will be integral to how our firms do business, provide advice and ultimately look after clients in the future,” a job advertisement reads. “By understanding and helping them on this journey you will embed your understanding of financial advice, how our industry works and see first-hand how professional advisers provide clients with financial advice.”
Openwork is offering a salary of £25,000 plus a 7.5 per cent completion bonus for the role.
The graduate trainees will be on a 12-month contract. Openwork says in a statement that it is “committed to helping trainees potentially move on to broader careers in the financial advice industry.”
Openwork is looking to complete recruitment by the end of November and to agree start dates in early 2021.
Openwork chief executive Philip Howell says: “I see this very much as a ‘win win’ for both these new graduates and Openwork.
“At a time when employment prospects for our young are looking bleak, we have a chance to give 25 young people a career pathway in our industry.
“They will have the opportunity to achieve chartered status, grounded in practical experience, supporting our partner firms and ultimately take their place in our succession plans.”
The scheme is open to graduates with 2:1 degrees and higher who have had work experience either after or during their degree.
