Why work at Alex Picot Trust?

A healthy work/life balance is one of our core values. Our directors do not encourage overtime, instead we treat our staff as individuals and put an emphasis on valuing outside interests and family commitments.

We have an active community engagement programme including the Jersey Marathon and Jersey Swimarathon, we also have a social committee that organises a number of social events to get us together outside the office during the year.

Each administration team has its own dedicated bookkeeper and accountant working as part of the team. We have a high proportion of accountants/staff ratio which reflects the importance we place on this skill set in our business.

If there was one thing that I didn't do during my experience it would be ‘staring at the clock’ - I was kept on my toes from start to finish whether I was aiding the tax team in their completion of the annual FATCA checks or making sure the safe custody data was in order.

Working for a trust company where a significant proportion of our client base is Jersey resident, means that clients do regularly pop into the office so I get a lot of direct client contact which makes the role very personal.

The Alex Picot Trust directors are very accessible, they physically work alongside us and their doors are always open so no matter what challenges we face we have their attention and support. This is one of the advantages to working in the company of this size as we really do all work as a team.

Everyone was really welcoming when I joined and I was surprised at how sociable it is working here. As well as social club events getting to know my new colleagues I have also been on rib trips and bowling events as guests of other companies. There is still a long road ahead to qualification but I feel really comfortable that I have made the right decision.
