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.
In line with national guidance and Departmental policy, all anaesthetic procedures are carried out under the direct or indirect supervision of a consultant. As such, whilst the successful applicant will take ownership of the pre-operative assessment, anaesthetic management, post-operative care and pain management of their own patients, the star Consultant of the day can provide appropriate occasional input. When a problem arises during out of hour shift, the successful applicant must seek assistance of the General on call consultant covering general theatres and maternity at Royal Albert Edward Infirmary.
