Experienced Paraplanner needed in Cheltenham
A well-established financial planning firm is seeking an experienced Paraplanner to join their team in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, with a salary of up to £40,000. You'll be supporting a qualified Senior adviser with clients who have significant assets under management, working with a team that values technical excellence and professional development.
Your purpose
You'll provide comprehensive technical paraplanning support to a Senior financial adviser, preparing suitability reports and recommendations for clients with complex financial planning needs. The role exists to ensure the adviser can focus on client relationships while you handle the detailed technical work that underpins every piece of advice. You'll work closely with the adviser who manage established client banks, so the work is relationship-driven rather than transactional.

- Researching and analysing investment, pension and protection solutions across the market
- Liaising with product providers to progress new business and manage ongoing servicing
- Supporting a Senior adviser with technical queries and keeping up to date with regulatory changes

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.
