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.
What We're Looking For
You should have:
- GCSE Maths and English at Grade 4/C or above (or equivalent), or
- Functional Skills Level 2 in Maths and English.
If you are currently awaiting your results, predicted grades will be accepted at the application stage. However, confirmation of qualifications will be required before any job offer can be made.
