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.
Further info regarding the full responsibilities can be found in the vacancy pack attached to the advert on our careers website.
Where you’ll be based

The centre is an award-winning, low-carbon building designed by The Welsh School of Architects. Modern, bright and welcoming, it accommodates up to 140 guests and sits at the heart of a landscape made for exploring.
It’s a scenic and uplifting place to work, surrounded by fresh air, natural beauty and the chance to help visitors enjoy a memorable stay.
We Ask That You Have
- A positive, can-do attitude
- Ability to work independently and with others
- Good customer service skills
