Permanent Recruitment for Professionals

in FCA Regulated Financial Advice

Headhunters Recruitment works with experienced professionals seeking permanent, long-term roles within

UK FCA-regulated financial advice and wealth management firms.

Our approach is selective, discreet, and informed by a deep understanding of regulated environments, ensuring any move

supports your long-term career, professional standing, and regulatory responsibilities.

How We Work With Candidates

We work with candidates as part of retained search assignments for FCA-regulated advisory and professional firms.

Many opportunities are confidential and business-critical, meaning roles are often discussed directly rather than advertised publicly.

Our approach is selective and discreet, focused on long-term suitability rather than short-term moves.

Designed For Professionals Working Within

Regulated Financial Advice Environments

We support individuals currently operating in, or moving into,

FCA-regulated financial advice and wealth management firms, including:

  • Financial Advisers and IFAs

  • Chartered and Senior Advisors

  • Paraplanners

  • Compliance Officers

  • Operations and Practice Management

  • Client Services

  • Financial Administration

We work exclusively on permanent roles only and do not operate volume-led or transactional recruitment models

A Considered, Career Focused Approach

Focused on long-term suitability, not short-term moves

Changing roles within a regulated environment carries professional, regulatory, and

reputational considerations. Our role is not to push opportunities,

but to help you assess whether a move is right for you

Every conversation is led by an experienced recruitment professional who understands:

  • FCA regulatory expectations

  • Cultural and compliance risk

  • The importance of long-term career continuity

What You Can Expect

Direct, honest and senior-led support

  • Honest feedback, not sales driven advice

  • No speculative CV submissions

  • Clear and transparent communication

  • Carefully selected opportunities aligned to your experience and objectives

  • Insight into firms, leadership and culture

You will always deal directly with the same experienced consultant throughout the process

Confidentiality & Discretion

Handled with care at every stage

We recognise the sensitivity involved in exploring new opportunities while in role

  • All conversations are confidential

  • No CVs are shared without explicit consent

  • Your current position and reputation are protected at all times

  • Discussions remain discreet, even at exploratory stages
