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 workload will include oculoplastics clinics and eye casualty sessions, and the post holder will also be expected to fulfil the following duties within the agreed job plan:
- Provision and development of exceptional ophthalmology services
- Continuing responsibility for the care of patients in his/her charge and the proper functioning of the department
- Actively participate in clinical governance and audits
- Actively participate in departmental meetings
These duties are subject to review from time to time in the light of the changing requirements of the service.
We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with.
They are benefitting from a new electronic patient record (we were the last acute trust in London to introduce one) and our maternity services have been rated good by the Care Quality Commission.
We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 346,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care.
