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.
The position is primarily home-based, with office attendance on Wednesdays and one Thursday in every four for Board meetings.

- A flexible 35-hour working week over four or five days, hybrid working, and the chance to step into a senior governance role with six reports (four direct).
- You'll gain valuable interim experience with the opportunity to apply for the permanent post when it becomes available.
- Interviews will take place via Teams, with shortlisted candidates asked to prepare a short presentation.
- Weekly pay and hourly rate inclusive of holidays.
