£50,000 to £90,000 plus bonus and benefits
A fiercely independent wealth management firm is looking to hire an experienced Financial Planner across the Midlands.
About the Role

You’ll Do

- Build relationships with professional introducers and personal networks
- Work across your regional market rather than sit behind a desk all week
- Contribute to team goals, client outcomes and wider business projects
- Help support sensible growth across a long established wealth firm
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.
