Hoxton Wealth has launched a new online community aimed at those seeking a career in the financial planning sector amid a growing need for new talent in the industry.

The free-to-access community is available to both people who work at Hoxton Wealth and those who do not, whether they are a trainee wealth manager or someone in the industry wanting to find out more about UK and international financial planning careers.

It will feature monthly question and answer sessions, providing an open forum for members to ask questions, as well as study support, including qualification information, and access to industry events and career clinics.

The online programme will enable members to post about their weekly experiences that have assisted them in getting closer to becoming a wealth manager.

Participants will also receive early access to the Hoxton Life podcast and Don’t Shoot the Messenger newsletter.

“We will be holding Hoxton community events once a year, inviting members to it and offering some people from that process into our trainee wealth manager course,” commented Hoxton Wealth head of recruitment, Oliver Gorman.

“But even if you do not get a job with us, we’re still going to work with you to develop your skills and obviously give you the relevant information to make important decisions on your career in wealth management.

“The wealth manager programme provides those looking for an entry-level role with early experience of prospecting, dealing with marketing leads and contacting the clients and getting them booked in with advisers. Participants will also gain qualifications during the process.”
