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.

Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Some young people require support with personal care, mobility, communication, or behaviors that may challenge. There will be busy days, emotional moments, and situations that require patience, resilience, and teamwork.
We think it's important to be open about that because our job is to find the people who want this job, not those that need a job.
You will be working for the UK's leading charity dedicated to creating better lives for children and young people with epilepsy and associated conditions.
Based on a beautiful campus in Surrey, we provide specialist education and residential care for children and young adults aged 4-25 with a range of additional needs, including epilepsy, autism, and severe learning disabilities.
