Discovery Invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for its Wealth Management Learnership Vacancies. The closing date for applications is 30 November 2026.
Discovery is looking for enthusiastic young people who want to start a career in finance. This learnership gives you a chance to earn a nationally recognised NC: Wealth Management qualification (NQF Level 5) while you work in a real‑world office.
What the Learnership is About
The main aim is to help the Operations team with everyday tasks and to manage admin work for the whole division. You will learn how a large financial services company runs, and you will gain hands‑on experience that counts toward your qualification.
What You Will Do
You will be part of a busy office, so the day‑to‑day duties may include:
- Checking that all business documents are correct before they are sent out.
- Helping to capture new business and claim information, and following up on any missing items within the required time‑frames.
- Putting together daily, weekly and monthly reports and acting on the information they contain.
- Supporting the Sales Manager with tasks and data analysis.
- Working together with other departments to keep everything running smoothly.
- Watching how the office works and suggesting ways to improve efficiency.
- Assisting financial advisers and acting as the link between them, the manager and the rest of the team.
- Preparing and presenting a monthly report for the whole team.
- Making sure every new client is set up correctly and on time.
- Greeting walk‑in clients, answering phone calls and handling basic front‑desk duties.
- Acting as the main point of contact for Discovery’s internal requests.
What You Need to Succeed
- Thinking skills: You should be able to spot problems, think of new ways to do things and find solutions.
- Attention to detail: Small mistakes can cause big problems, so you need to be accurate.
- Organised work style: You must be able to keep your work neat, follow a step‑by‑step approach and meet quality standards.
- Time‑management: You will have several tasks at once, so you need to plan and finish work on time.
- Pressure handling: The office can be busy; you must stay calm and keep priorities straight.
- Team spirit: You will work with others and also need to handle tasks on your own.
- Customer focus: A quick response to requests and a helpful attitude are a must.
- Adaptability: Be ready for changes, accept feedback and learn from it.
- Good communication: You must write clearly and speak English well.
