If you go to findajob.dwp.gov.uk, and look within 10 miles, what jobs do you see?

This is the view of jobs within 10 miles of my home postcode.
The single "science & QA" job is adult residential care home manager.
The single 'engineering' job is senior contracts manager for council waste services.
The single 'PR/marketing' job is an advert for a recruitment website.
The single "retail" job is something to do with sales & setting up displays, need to drive own vehicle, £9/hour.
The general jobs are mostly care/support workers.

Basically, the jobs around here are mostly related to care work.
I am curious if that's typical or not, so would love some others to report back what they see in their area.

Mostly NHS medical vacancies in a hospital 20 miles away. Set it to five mile radius and it’s mostly NHS medical vacancies in a health centre ten miles away. Curiously, I live on the border of two counties and it only shows vacancies in one county.
