Paraplanner – Tonbridge – Kent
Salary: Up to £50,000 - Onsite
We're recruiting an ambitious Career Paraplanner to join a thriving independent IFA practice in Tonbridge. This is a genuine opportunity to develop into a senior paraplanning role with expert mentorship and financial backing for your professional qualifications.
If you're hungry to build real expertise in complex wealth planning and work with high-net-worth clients, this role is for you.
You'll undertake complex suitability research and analysis, produce detailed client reports, and provide technical support across our client base. Working closely with our advisers, you'll handle cases involving pensions, investments, estate planning and protection—often with clients approaching or in retirement.
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.
