Financial Adviser – Sussex / Home Based | Field Role | Salary up to £70,000, OTE £130,000 + Car + Pension up to 20%
Location: Sussex (home based, field travel up to 4 days per week across Surrey)
We are working with one of the UK's most respected financial services organisations to recruit an experienced Financial Adviser covering the Surrey area. This is a home-based, field role with a warm lead pipeline and a full diary managed by a dedicated local network — so you arrive at every meeting already welcome.
Our client is an organisation with over 110 years of heritage, and a consistently high customer satisfaction scores. Advisers benefit from technical and administrative support, a strong brand, and an uncapped commission structure with clear and transparent earnings potential.
The advisers who perform best here are those who genuinely enjoy spending time with clients — comfortable in a detailed, unhurried conversation that gets to the heart of a customer's financial picture. Many customers in this patch are self-employed, run agricultural or rural businesses, or have complex family and commercial financial arrangements. An adviser who can sit across a kitchen table, listen carefully, and build real trust over time will thrive.
