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.

In urban areas, the work of local correspondents is likely to be more concerned with parks and other open spaces, defending them against undesirable development and enclosure, often by the local authority owners. The society is directly consulted on commons and rights-of-way matters, but other threats can only be discovered by looking for planning applications and articles in local papers. Also, some of our urban authorities still have no definitive maps of public paths, which makes the job more difficult.
