WRAP is a global environmental action NGO.
Established in the UK in 2000, we have colleagues and partners operating in over 30 countries around the world and have offices in the UK and Washington D.C.
Nearly half of global greenhouse gas emissions come from the stuff we produce and consume. We change how food, packaging and textiles are made, used and reused by bringing organisations together to solve shared challenges and implement change. By creating better systems, we are reducing waste, pollution and greenhouse gas emissions; protecting our planet and strengthening our economy.

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.
