Not every job needs to promise the earth.
Sometimes you just want a good salary, experienced advisers, a proper paraplanning team and a business that isn’t trying to reinvent your working week every six months.
This is one of those jobs.
It’s a paraplanning role in Bury paying up to £45,000, supporting three senior IFAs who’ve all been with the business for over 20 years.
It’s hybrid, with three days a week in the Bury office. And it also comes with 4 x DIS, pension, 25 days holiday and support with further exams.
THE JOB
You’ll join an established team of four paraplanners, replacing someone who is retiring. It's a slick operation so you'll walk into an efficient, supportive team.
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.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The work is what you’d expect: research, analysis and suitability reports around pensions, investments, IHT/estate planning and helping experienced advisers put good advice together properly.

What You'll Need
They’re refreshingly sensible about qualifications.
You don’t necessarily need to be Diploma qualified if you’ve already got good paraplanning experience. They may also consider a strong financial planning administrator who’s already doing some technical work and is ready to step up.
