Have you seen this job advert ? Sounds right up your street ...

I've just started my level 4 and am nearing the end of a 3 month placement in a small chartered practice. Is tough going finding work and even work experience right now isn't it ?

Good luck in finding a placement

Hi,
Try volunteering. There will be agency type organisations in your area that will match you (and your skills and what you can offer) to an organisation.
I have been the treasurer of a local charity for the past couple of years and have gained amazing experience doing so: bookkeeping, putting together annual accounts, working with the auditor, presenting accounts at the AGM, submitting returns to charity commission, taking our charity through incorporation (becoming a Ltd Company), working with the payroll bureau, investing our funds... It complimented my AAT really well.
Good luck!
