Dealing Assistant

Job description

Dealing Assistant – Financial Markets | Leicester (Office-Based)

An established, independently-owned UK investment firm — providing stockbroking, clearing and custody, and investment management services to retail investors, IFAs and professional intermediaries — is looking for a Dealing Assistant to join their team at their Leicester head office.

This is a genuine entry point into financial markets. No previous trading experience is required — we're looking for someone with strong attention to detail, confident communication skills, and the ambition to build a long-term career in trading and investment operations.

What you'll be doing:

• Liaising directly with market counterparties to ensure trades are agreed and settled on time
• Working across front and back office to coordinate trading and operational activity
• Supporting traders, stockbrokers and fund managers with day-to-day activity
• Resolving trade-related queries with clients and counterparties
• Investigating and helping resolve trading and operational issues
• Ensuring accurate record-keeping and communication across teams

What we're looking for:

• Confident on the phone with clients and market counterparties
• Excellent attention to detail
• Comfortable working across multiple teams and stakeholders
• Strong prioritisation skills in a fast-paced environment
• Good with numbers and financial information
• A genuine interest in financial markets and a desire to progress
• Prior experience in financial services, stockbroking or investment operations is a plus, but not essential

Career progression: This role is designed as a genuine stepping stone. You'll be sponsored through relevant industry qualifications, with a clear path toward progressing into a trading role for the right candidate.

If you're ambitious, numerate, and want hands-on exposure to trading, clients and investment operations from day one, we'd like to hear from you.
