I’m working with an established financial planning business in Solihull that is looking for a Trainee Paraplanner to join the team.

This is a great opportunity for someone currently working in IFA administration, financial planning administration, wealth management or adviser support who is ready to take the next step into paraplanning.

You don’t need previous paraplanning experience. What’s important is that you have a good understanding of financial services and are keen to develop your technical knowledge and build a long-term career in paraplanning.

The role will include:

  • Supporting Financial Advisers with client cases
  • Assisting with client reviews and ongoing servicing
  • Financial research across pensions, investments and wider financial planning
  • Supporting suitability reports and recommendations
  • Provider and product research
  • Supporting new business and transfer cases
  • Liaising with providers, platforms and clients
  • Preparing valuations and client information
  • Developing your technical knowledge alongside experienced Paraplanners

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.
