We are currently recruiting on behalf of a highly successful, independent financial planning firm that is looking to appoint a Senior IFA Administrator / Team Leader to join their growing team.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established yet ambitious business that currently manages approximately £300M in assets under management and has clear plans for significant future growth through organic expansion. As a result, there is excellent scope for long-term career progression and the opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future of the business.
The Opportunity
This is a hybrid position combining hands-on technical administration with team leadership responsibilities. You will provide high-level support to Financial Advisers while also taking on a supervisory role within the client support function.
The business currently has a team of four administrators, with plans to expand and this role will be instrumental in helping to develop, guide and shape that team. You will act as a key link between the administration team and senior management, reporting directly to the Head of Operations.
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.
