- Support with online Wills and other services within the company when required
- Provide exceptional customer service by offering ongoing support and addressing any post-visit inquiries or adjustments
- Stay abreast of industry trends and best practices in estate planning to enhance service delivery
Who Are You?

- Must have a full UK driving license and be willing to drive around London
- STEP qualified (preferred)
- Knowledge of how to write Wills and understanding the legalities
- Knowledge of how LPAs work
- In-depth understanding of Octopus Legacy’s services and ability to upsell
- Proficient in identifying indicators of concerns related to clients' testamentary capacity

- Excellent verbal and written communication skills

- Proactive in initiating tasks independently and effectively following instructions
- Flexible schedule to accommodate home visits based on clients' availability
Our Mission
When people think about planning for death they think about wills, life insurance and funerals. We take these cold processes and turn them into something more human. Share more than money: leave voice notes, music, recipes. Shape a legacy that connects you while you're here. And after you're gone.
Founded by Sam after his mum died suddenly, we’re a group of people who work in death because we’ve been affected by it. We know the difference a good plan makes, and what it’s like when there isn’t one.
Death can come between us, leave mess, legal fees, frustration. But it can also make us stronger. We see a world where people talk openly about death, and work out the real meaning of legacy, one that connects to them. We’re here to make that world happen.
Benefits:
- Octopus share incentive scheme.
- Flexible holiday + extra day off for your Birthday.
- Vitality Health & Life Insurance.
- Pension scheme.
- Enhanced parental leave.
- Free Will & LPAs + discounts on other Octopus services.
- Cycle to Work Scheme and access to the Electric Vehicle (EV) Salary Sacrifice Scheme.
- Octopus Giving: we match any charitable fundraising that you do up to £500.
- Octopus Springboard: where we help our employees become fully-fledged entrepreneurs.
We know that to be truly innovative, we need to have a diverse team around us. That is why Octopus Legacy is committed to creating an inclusive environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
