Paraplanner – Full Time

But let’s be clear, this isn’t your average report writing paraplanner role as we provide bespoke holistic advice to our clients.
We are looking for a skilled Paraplanner who has a genuine love for research, using technical analysis tools and writing bespoke comprehensive client reports. You will have a voice in the advice process, working alongside our advisers and have the autonomy to select bespoke, researched solutions for our clients.
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.
