In our days PAC compiled a list of top 20+ audit firms that had a good / reasonable record from a student's point of view, I am not sure if they still do that, would be worth checking with them.
The last option is ofcourse as Abdur Rehman has suggested to look at the QCR listing on ICAP, but you will need to dig down since there are some 96 odd firms on there and some of them may not necessarily be all that 'trainee friendly'
