Whether you are aiming to enhance your technical skills or exploring areas like communication, or personal productivity, we ensure that there is always something new to learn.

To keep our resources fresh, engaging, and relevant, we regularly release new courses and updates, ensuring that every employee has access to the most up-to-date tools and knowledge. By empowering our people to continuously learn, grow, and adapt, we ensure that they are not only better equipped to meet the demands of their roles but also able to provide exceptional service to our clients.

Will Brennand - Trainee Trust Officer, Jersey

I joined Suntera straight out of college, where I was completing my Level 3 business course. On this course, I was offered the opportunity to do work experience, and I chose Suntera. Immediately after starting my work experience, I knew that Suntera would be the place I wanted to work in the future as the culture was really friendly. Suntera’s offered me great learning and development. They've offered the Suntera Academy, where I'm provided with many training courses for all aspects of the business, and I've had great on the job skills developed by my team.

Phi Duhamel - Assistant Manager, Jersey

I’ve been working at Suntera for nine years, having joined through an acquisition from a previous Trust Company. I work in the Private Clients department as an Assistant Manager. Additionally, I feel empowered to work in a way that is suited to me, and my contribution to the team matters, and my opinions are heard.

At Suntera, there is a lot of enthusiasm for studying and for people to become professionally qualified. There is equally a culture of encouragement for people to progress within the business if this is something they are aspiring to, and I feel supported in my progression in my job.

Samantha Godwin - Client Services Director, Jersey

I have worked with Suntera since January 2024, and I have over 25 years of experience in the financial services industry. Immediately, I was welcomed as part of the team and felt comfortable. I feel that Suntera also maintains a family atmosphere, and everyone is very approachable and fully supportive. It offers stability in terms of growth, which is also shared with employees and fosters a collaborative environment. I have worked in a number of financial institutions, and each firm has been different. However, at Suntera, I was made to feel appreciated, and they listened to my ideas and thoughts to drive the business forward. I am really happy that I made the move to Suntera.
