Hi Shiv.
If the roles are advertised as "qualified" then this means we're only looking for already qualified individuals and therefore won't be accepting applications from trainees. As such, you would need to apply for a role that isn't stated as a qualified position.
If there are no current roles you feel would be a good fit, please register for job alerts to be notified when new vacancies arise.
