Financial Services Administrator | Outskirts of Aberdeen (North West) | Office based | Permanent, full-time

Our client is a small, well-established financial planning firm on the outskirts of Aberdeen. The team of seven, including two Chartered Financial Planners and two paraplanners, is looking to add an Administrator with a solid grounding in financial services.

You don't need to be highly qualified or experienced across every part of the job. What matters is the right attitude and a couple of years of relevant experience. The firm is happy to train the right person.

The role

  • Providing administrative support to advisers and paraplanners
  • Preparing and maintaining client files and records
  • Liaising with providers and processing business
  • General office and client servicing administration
  • Taking on more knowledge and responsibility over time

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Progression

This is an admin hire, not a trainee adviser route. However, the firm develops its people, and there is scope to support the right person towards a paraplanner role over time.

Location

The office is on the outskirts of Aberdeen. It suits people living locally or north of the city, or anyone who would rather not commute into the centre.
