SJP Paraplanner
Stockport | Hybrid / Remote Considered | Up to £45,000
We're working with a growing wealth management practice in Stockport that is looking to appoint an experienced Paraplanner to support their expanding adviser team.
This is an opportunity to join a forward-thinking practice where your technical expertise will be valued, working closely with advisers to deliver high-quality financial planning solutions for clients.
The role offers a flexible hybrid approach, with remote working considered for highly experienced Paraplanners. Occasional visits to the Stockport office will be required, so candidates ideally should be based within one hour of the practice.
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.
