We’re delighted to be partnering with a well-established boutique financial planning firm in Cheltenham to appoint a Paraplanner who is ambitious to progress into a Financial Adviser role.

This is a genuine growth opportunity within an experienced, close-knit team. You’ll work closely with senior advisers, gain meaningful exposure to clients and meetings, and develop your skills across the wider financial planning and advice process.

The firm has built a strong reputation over many years for providing thoughtful, personalised financial planning and developing trusted, long-term client relationships.

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.
