Our advice
Retirement planning
When the end of your career is approaching, you’ll want to make sure your retirement is taken care of. Get specialist advice on retirement planning and guidance on the Teachers’ Pension Scheme.
We can help you:
- Work out how much income you’ll need at different stages of retirement
- Calculate the effect of a phased retirement, or working past your retirement date
- Understand the McCloud judgement and what it means for you
Please note, we are not authorised to advise on pension transfers into the TPS. You will need to speak to the TPS directly if you want to explore this option.
Protection advice
If you’re unable to teach due to illness, you’ll want to protect your income and still afford your monthly outgoings.
We can help you find the right income protection plan for you and your family. You’ll be covered when sick pay stops, all the way up to retirement if needed. Just book an appointment with a Specialist Financial Adviser to learn more. Charges may apply.
Mortgage advice
Ready to step on the property ladder, remortgage as you approach the end of your current deal or looking to buy-to-let? We can offer impartial mortgage advice to find a rate suited to you. Get guidance on all of your options, and how you can make the most of applying for a mortgage as a teacher.
Your mortgage is secured on your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
Most buy-to-let mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
Investment advice
An appointment with a Specialist Financial Adviser from Wesleyan Financial Services is more than just a look at your investment options.
We take the time to understand your long-term goals and how we can get you there financially. If you do decide that investing is right for you, we'll create an investment plan for your financial future.
Please remember the value of investments and any income can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest.

Frequently asked questions
Your adviser will explain any charges as part of an initial conversation. This conversation is at no charge, and allows you to agree the areas in which you would like our help and advice.
You will only be charged once you have agreed the services you wish to receive from us, and the associated costs.
If you’re meeting with a Specialist Financial Adviser, it can be handy to have your questions ready, as well as any information or documents relating to your finances.
This could include any savings and investments, your current Teachers’ pension statement and any life insurance or income protection policy details.
You may also be asked to complete a ‘Financial Outline’ ahead of the session. This enables you to tell your Adviser about your current circumstances and future goals, so they can prepare an appointment tailored to you.
If you choose not to complete the Financial Outline in advance, you’ll need to do it as part of your appointment.
An initial meeting with a Specialist Financial Adviser will typically last around one hour, although it does depend on the complexity of your circumstances.
A meeting with an Education Support Specialist will usually be shorter, and the appointment itself may be quicker to arrange.
NASUWT and NAHT are introducer appointed representatives of Wesleyan Financial Services Limited.
