About Us:

Are you looking for a new challenge within your working life?
Perhaps you’ve hit a glass ceiling and are looking for the next step in your career. Or maybe you’re a business owner looking to increase the value of your business and offer holistic advice to your clients.

If you want to take the first step into a rewarding career that provides autonomy, meritocracy, and flexibility – the St. James’s Place Financial Adviser Academy is here to support you all the way. There’s no better place to create a career that you love. Our award-winning Academy offers an industry-leading programme that supports and trains new advisers with the skills they need for a successful career in financial advice.

You don’t need to be great at maths or have knowledge of the financial sector to become a successful financial adviser – in fact, only 35% of our delegates come from a financial services background. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, the desire to learn and strong interpersonal skills, together we can make it happen. It’s what we’ve been doing since 1992. And over 1,100 people have already done just that – backed by an FTSE 100 company, you’ll be empowered to deliver a first-class service.

Our Company Culture:

At SJP, we recognise the need for a diverse workforce: Financial advisers should represent the population that they service. We aim to recruit people from diverse backgrounds and provide a training programme that is accessible to everyone, to better reflect the society around us. We know that people learn and work in different ways. Our programme gives you the tools and training you need to become an adviser, regardless of your background or circumstance.

Our training programme provides the qualifications, knowledge, and practical experience you need to become a financial adviser, through both face-to-face techniques and technology to support you. Developed with our advisers in mind, our full Academy programme is spread across 4 terms and, for those already qualified, with our support, you could be advising clients within 3 months. Our 12–24-month programme is here to transform your theoretical knowledge into practical application using cutting edge technology and expert support. If you’re looking to put your qualification to good use, this is the Place.
