At Cooper Parry Wealth we’re a mould-breaking, bold decision-making, award-taking team. And we are looking for a passionate and proactive placement year student to join us, someone who loves working collaboratively, with communication at the heart of what they do.

The wealth management industry loves talking about the latest products that will make people rich. But we’ve flipped the traditional model on its head. Quite simply, we realised it’s broken and ineffective.

We would be open to discuss and explore the pathway that matches you the best and welcome you to apply for the role, but please notify us of your extenuating circumstances that affected your results.

So, we look for people who...

• Have great attention to detail, with a passion for numbers and a knack for following processes
• Possess great communication skills, can build rapport and are comfortable approaching clients
• Can adapt to changing priorities and work in different teams
• Able to multitask - processing data, chasing information and prioritising your own workload
• Are excited about Wealth and driven to succeed in the role

About the day to day…

• Providing support to the team in the delivery, coordination, and administration of ongoing projects.
• Accurately inputting and updating information in our back-office systems
