Try looking in job opportunities papers or Daltons weekly or other similar magazines . Don't be afraid of just walking in or phoning a firm direct. Advertise yourself locally i.e some shops allow you to advertise for a small fee. Ask Friends if they know where jobs are available, Friends do not always think to put forward jobs in there offices especially when they don't know what your looking for. Don't be afraid of looking in national news papers and be put off by the high expectations and job specifications.
All the best and good luck.
As advised the first start is to look in local papers.
The second is produce a good CV and send it with a covering letter to potential companies.
The third might be, with CV (and a covering letter), in hand and cold call in person.
Lastly, look in your local job centre - many companies advertise, just like they do in the papers.

Also, as bad a reputation as they have, you could try the job centre, although alot of agencies do advertise there.
Finally, you could just send your cv out to potential employers with a covering letter and if they have any vacancies they can let you know, or keep your cv on file till they do
