Risk and Compliance Assistant

London, Leeds or Edinburgh

James Hambro & Partners is an independently owned wealth management group established in 2010 by Jamie Hambro and seasoned industry experts.

The Hambro name has been closely associated with the investment world for more than 200 years. The founding of James Hambro & Partners (JH&P) in 2010 marked its return to an independently owned partnership. Led by Chairman James Hambro, we created a modern business founded on traditional values and the guiding principles of trust, integrity and service. In 2012, responding to the opportunities and challenges of RDR, we merged with Calkin Pattinson, a well-established and like-minded family-run financial advisory company, now renamed James Hambro & Company. We believe that the merged James Hambro businesses form a compelling offering, bringing together expert portfolio management and financial planning within a single focused enterprise. We look after the needs of individual private clients and their families, financial advisers, trusts, charities and not-for-profit organisations. Our business has been built on personal service, clear communication and strong investment performance. James Hambro & Partners currently has over £8 billion of assets under management. Our head office is in Pall Mall London. We opened an office in Leeds in January 2020, an office in Edinburgh in February 2021 and an office in Bristol in May 2023.
