We’re seeking a talented and motivated adviser to join our Mortgage and Protection team at Octopus Money on a 12-month contract to cover for a colleague’s maternity leave. As one of two Mortgage and Protection Advisers, you will assist clients through their mortgage and protection journey by providing expert advice tailored to their needs and financial circumstances. Most of our clients are warm leads referred by our financial coaching business and you’ll play a pivotal role in helping them make their home ownership goals into reality. Although we are hiring on a fixed term contract in the first instance, we aim to grow our mortgage and protection business over the next year. If it’s a mutual fit, this role would be the first place we’d look to hire for a permanent contract!

About Octopus Money

🐙 We’re on a mission to become the most recommended financial services business in the UK 🐙

Money shapes every part of life. Yet most people never get the support they need:

Half of Brits reach retirement age without enough to live the life they want
Financial stress is a leading cause of poor mental health
Only 8% of people have access to 1-to-1 financial advice

There’s no shortage of information. What people actually need is clarity, guidance and a plan that makes sense for them.

That’s where we come in.

Octopus Money brings together financial planning, investment expertise and smart technology so people can understand their options and take action with confidence. We help people build a clear plan for their savings, investments and pensions and make investing simple with managed portfolios built by experts. We also support employers who want their teams to feel more secure and in control.

Some people need regulated advice. Others need coaching. Many need both at different points in life. Our service adapts to what each person needs.

We believe everyone deserves money support that works for real life.
