Join Us to Build Your Career in Financial Planning

Looking for a career in financial planning that doesn’t make you feel like you’re trapped in a spreadsheet all day? Welcome to Lucent, where we take financial planning seriously—but not ourselves.

We’re a team of straight-talking, forward-thinking experts who know that great work comes from happy people. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for your next big move, we’ve got opportunities that fit around life, not the other way around.

Here’s why people want to work with us:

Putting Fun Into Finance

Life at Lucent

Let’s be honest—no one dreams of working for a boring financial planning firm. And that’s why we’re different. Life at Lucent is about balance, growth, and a fair bit of laughter. Our flexible approach to work means you can be in the office when it matters and at home when you need to be. You’ll get to learn from some of the sharpest minds in the industry, work with amazing clients, and actually enjoy coming to work.

Balancing Life & Work

Flexible & Family Working

Life happens. Kids, pets, dentist appointments, home emergency. Whatever it is, we get it. That’s why we embrace flexible working. Whether you're a parent juggling school runs, a night owl who does their best thinking at 10 pm, or someone who just likes a midweek yoga class, we’ll work with you to create a schedule that works for you—and for us. Because happy employees do the best work.

More Than Just a Job
It’s About Supporting You

At Lucent, a career is more than just a job—it’s about feeling supported every step of the way. Whether you’re aiming to climb the career ladder, boost your skills, or simply need a listening ear, we’ve got your back.

From study support and professional development to open conversations and mental health resources, we’re here to help you thrive both professionally and personally. Because when you’re at your best, so are we.

Career Development

Want to grow your career? We’ve got you. At Lucent, we don’t just help clients plan their financial futures—we help our people plan their careers. Whether you’re looking to become a financial planning rockstar or just want to level up your skills, we’ll support you with qualifications, study time, and real-world experience. And yes, we’ll even pay for your first exam attempt. Just don’t expect us to do your revision for you!

Supporting Positive Mental Health

Financial planning can be intense—but that doesn’t mean work should be. We take mental health seriously (but not in a preachy way). From open conversations and manager support to a confidential Employee Assistance Programme, we make sure everyone at Lucent has access to the help they need. Bad day? Talk to someone. Need a break? Take one. We want our team to feel good, not just look good on paper.

Beyond a Job

What Our Employees Say

At Lucent, we’re not here to hit you with fancy jargon or boring spreadsheets—we’re here to give you peace of mind. Our approach to financial planning is down-to-earth, practical, and tailored to you.

Scott Ballard - Paraplanner

"The most fun thing about Lucent would be our multiple client events. It’s great way to get to know and interact with all our clients. Each year we hold a number of different events ranging from speakers such as Eddie the Eagle and Frank Bruno, monthly walks, our summer BBQ and investment seminars. It’s great to see our clients getting to know the staff as well as each other!"

Ellie Pemberton - Financial Planner

"My best experience so far is the Walk and Talk events! It is such a great opportunity to get to know our clients away from the office and it is such a lovely community to be part of."

Joseph Collins - Client Review Manager

"The most rewarding part of working at Lucent is knowing that our clients truly appreciate our service. Conversations and reviews are always positive, and it's incredibly fulfilling to see dozens join our monthly walks and hundreds eager to attend our events, showcasing their enthusiasm for what we do."
