Senior Paraplanner

Cheltenham | Hybrid working

Salary up to £55,000 + bonus + excellent benefits

Are you an experienced Paraplanner looking to take ownership of complex, high-value financial planning work within a collaborative and highly regarded team?

We are working with a well-established and award-winning financial planning business who are looking to appoint a Senior Paraplanner. This is an excellent opportunity to work alongside Chartered Financial Planners, supporting a varied client base that includes high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Preparing detailed financial planning recommendations and suitability reports
  • Supporting advisers with bespoke planning solutions for new and existing clients
  • Undertaking research across investments, pensions, retirement planning, inheritance tax planning, and personal protection
  • Liaising directly with clients when required, including high-net-worth individuals
  • Providing support to the administration team on new business and ongoing servicing
  • Producing research papers and presentations that communicate complex matters clearly
  • Ensuring all work meets required compliance standards and is delivered accurately and on time
  • Managing multiple priorities while maintaining excellent attention to detail

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.
