Join a highly respected, modern private client practice in Maidenhead where quality of work, client care, and team culture truly matter. This firm is known for providing exceptional, relationship-driven private wealth services across the Thames Valley, working with a mix of long-standing families, HNW individuals, business owners, and professional referrers.
You’ll be part of a supportive, ambitious, and well-structured Private Client team that values both technical excellence and the human side of client service.
? Why this firm stands out
This is not "just another private client role". The firm invests heavily in its people, its systems, and its reputation.

*Prestige & reputation: A recognised Thames Valley private wealth team handling both standard and complex/HNW estates, often multi-jurisdictional.
*Strong referral pipeline: Deep, long-standing relationships with IFAs, accountants, wealth managers, and family-run businesses ensure consistent, interesting work (not volume or churn).
*Culture candidates actually want: Friendly, collaborative, and down-to-earth team with no ego culture; you won’t feel like a number.
*Clear progression: Defined routes to Senior Associate, Team Leader, or managerial pathways — realistic, not theoretical.
*Investment in you: STEP sponsorship, funded CPD, business-development mentoring and the chance to build your profile in the region.
*Modern hybrid working: A balanced, trust-based hybrid model with the tech and systems to make it smooth.
