A fantastic opportunity has arisen to join our expanding Estate Administration Department.

About You

You’ll have over 4 years post qualified experience and looking for a fresh challenge. You will be positive, professional, have a client focused approach and a great team player.

About The Team You Will Be Joining

Our Estate Administration department specialises in providing advice and assistance to clients in the areas of probate and trust administration. We link up where required with other specialist departments in the firm in an open and welcoming environment, which encourages teamwork and co-operation.

We have a partner led approach on all matters, providing a flexible team structure which helps to develop junior members of the team and allocation of work to the right level.

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.
