Protection Adviser
Location: London | Hybrid
Salary: £26,000 basic + 20-50% commission OTE: £80,000+ achievable
An established, relationship-led financial services business is seeking an experienced Protection Adviser to join its growing team.
This is a genuine opportunity to build a long-term client book and sustainable income, rather than work in a high-volume, transactional environment. Clients are HNW and from proven, long-term relationships. In many ways this is similar to a self-employed role, but without the risk.
The Role
- Quality leads provided, primarily generated through the group’s mortgage and wealth management teams.
- Opportunity to advise both established professionals and high-net-worth clients.
- Strong cross-referral opportunities across mortgages, protection and wealth management.
- Sub-5% client lapse rate, demonstrating excellent client retention.
- Advisers retain ownership of their client relationships while employed.
- Hybrid working, with a strong preference for regular office presence and collaboration.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who:
- Has solid protection advice experience.
- Enjoys relationship-led selling rather than chasing high volumes of internet leads.
- Has an entrepreneurial, self-motivated mindset.
- Is proactive in building relationships with mortgage advisers, wealth managers and introducers.
- Is comfortable investing time upfront to build a long-term pipeline.
- Values teamwork, culture and long-term stability.
Package
£26,000 basic + commission
- Company-generated business: up to 45% commission, depending on monthly production.
- Self-generated business: 50% commission.
- £80,000 OTE considered very achievable, with significant upside for advisers who develop their own introducer network.
This role would suit an experienced Protection Adviser who wants quality leads, strong internal relationships and the opportunity to build a valuable client book over time, with the security of employment and the autonomy of a business-building mindset.
