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.
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.
Confident working with a range of partners and stakeholders, you will be able to produce clear, engaging written content for different audiences and channels. You will also have practical experience of using social media and digital communications to support campaigns, share key messages and encourage engagement.
Working on a hybrid basis with an office base in Solihull town centre, the job is a varied mix of communications, PR and marketing, with a little consultation and engagement thrown in.
