Paraplanner
Location: Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire
Work Pattern: Full-time, Hybrid Working (1-2 Days Office Based)
Salary: Up to £50,000 (Negotiable for the Right Candidate) + Excellent Work-Life Balance
Are you a technically strong Paraplanner looking to join a genuinely boutique independent financial planning firm where your work will have a direct impact?
We are working with a highly regarded independent financial advice firm based in Aylesbury that is seeking an experienced Paraplanner to support two established advisers. This is an excellent opportunity to join a close-knit team where you’ll enjoy a broad and varied role, significant autonomy, and flexible hybrid working.
The Opportunity
This is not a role where you’ll be siloed into one part of the advice process. Instead, you’ll be involved in the full client journey, providing comprehensive paraplanning support and acting as a key technical resource for the advisers.
As the sole Paraplanner supporting the advisory team, you’ll be trusted to manage your workload independently while playing a central role in delivering high-quality financial planning advice to 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.
