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.
This is a 40-hour per week role on a rota basis, Monday to Saturday between 8am–9pm. You’ll work 1 in 3 Saturdays (10am–2pm) and occasional bank holidays when the US market is open.
At AJ Bell, you’ll find a friendly, supportive working environment with a strong sense of teamwork and pride in what we do, reflected in our guiding principles.
