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.
- Football (especially Newcastle matches with his dad)
- Music

⭐ What You’ll Be Helping With
- Morning routine: getting out of bed, showering, dressing, and preparing for college
- Personal care (he currently uses pads but can use the toilet/bottle for urinating)
- Supporting transfers using hoists
- Occasional evening outings to help him socialise and enjoy life
⭐ What We’re Looking For
- Male PA preferred
- Someone patient, upbeat, and sociable
- A driver is preferred
- Comfortable using hoists
- PEG experience is a bonus (training can be provided)
