Location
For this role you'll need to live within an hour and a half commute of either: London, Bristol, Essex, Oxford, Reading, Hertfordshire, Kent, Norwich, Ipswich, Surrey, Birmingham, Coventry, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Swansea, or Cardiff.
About the Role
We're looking for experienced estate planning consultants to cover various locations across the UK. We're a fast-growing business with huge demand for our services, owing to our customer-first approach and strong brand presence. If you have the skills we need, we can offer you a fantastic opportunity to work with our industry-leading team.
In this role you'll discuss the benefits of our products and services with potential customers, helping them to make an informed choice about their legal planning. We'll therefore need you to demonstrate up-to-date experience and knowledge of key legal principles. As a self-employed consultant, you'll have the flexibility to manage your own workload. Client appointments are mainly conducted through video call (national) and home visits (local).
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.
