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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This position will be based within the Virtual Ward Team but, depending upon service allocation and rotational requirements, the post holder may be asked to work within the Access and Community Palliative Care Team.

Requirements
- Full UK driving license and access to your own car.
