Trainee Paraplanner – Sutton Coldfield – £35,000 +

We are working with a well established wealth management and financial planning firm in Sutton Coldfield who are looking to add a junior or trainee paraplanner to their support team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with existing paraplanning exposure who wants to develop into a fully competent Paraplanner within a structured, supportive environment.

The Role

You’ll work closely with Financial Advisers on a pooled basis, supporting the advice process through research, analysis, and report preparation. Candidates must ideally already have some paraplanning or technical support experience.

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.
