Personal, Financial & Professional Integrity Absolute and undoubted integrity and honesty are at the core of the service we provide to our clients and we expect nothing less from you in the way you conduct yourself in both your professional and private life.

This also means that you need to keep your personal finances solvent and in good order at all times.

You will need to maintain a professional approach whenever you communicate with our clients. This means adopting a formal, polite and respectful manner in all forms of communication whether written or verbal.

Enthusiasm & Willingness To Work Hard This doesn’t necessarily mean coming in to work early or leaving late, it means being focused, well organised and working effectively to get the job done.

We want people who can work at a fast pace on many different tasks, yet maintain quality at all times and take pride in the accomplishment as a result.

We are looking for individuals who want to do more than just their job. People who see the “big picture”, and who want to contribute more to the team effort and who will help others who fall behind.

Being accountable and seeking responsibility This refers to not only getting the job done without being told, but more importantly it means taking responsibility for doing whatever is necessary to get the job done. We want you to take the initiative for yourself and your own actions and decisions and not to make excuses or blame others when things don’t work out.

Eloquence & Self Belief We need team members who are able to follow structured processes but we also need individuals who are willing to challenge accepted wisdom if they can see a better way to do things.

We want you to have the confidence to say what is on your mind and have the eloquence to state your case with conviction.

You should keep an open mind, question the status quo, and encourage innovation and out-of-the-box thinking from those around you.

It is also important that you understand our industry, the changes that are taking place within it and be able to explain why we work in the way that we do.

Communication Skills A team is only as good as its communication.

Communication is not just about saying things, it is about listening as well. We need people who can listen, understand and then follow a process.

Getting along and communicating with others, whether customers or colleagues, is at the heart of fitting in with the culture of this company.

You will need to respect others and listen actively to what they have to say whilst still making sure that you can convey your own point of view.

IT Skills We are at the cutting edge of information technology and so you will need to be literate and comfortable in using modern technology and software applications.

Virtually everything we do is technology driven; from online investment trading to our paperless office record keeping system.

You will need to feel comfortable working in this hi tech environment and be willing to embrace new ideas and ways of working.

Teamwork Teamwork is important because it allows our company’s goals to be achieved in an efficient and timely manner. Teamwork is about combining the different but complimentary skills of diverse individuals to reach a desired outcome in a way that that could not be achieved alone.

Since you will need to work as part of a team, you will have to understand the roles of others and how their work interacts with and influences yours.

You will need to empathise with your colleagues and genuinely care about their well-being. You should possess the emotional intelligence to understand other team members and their work situations, and be willing to listen and reinforce the value of their contribution.
