Hundreds of jobs will be up for grabs at a bumper spring Job Fair being held next week.
At the event, which is being held next Wednesday (June 15) at Everards Meadows, businesses will be showcasing their vacancies and jobseekers of all ages will be able to speak to company representatives, find out more information and get expert help.
The event, which is being hosted by by Blaby District Council between 12-6pm, is also an ideal opportunity for school and college leavers to come along and find out about trainee positions as well as apprenticeships.
Companies in attendance on the day will include Central England Coop, who have more than 60 vacancies across the Leicestershire area, ranging from Customer Service to Team Leader. There are also opportunities within the logistics, warehouses, and funeral areas of their company.
Everards are also looking for team members, a line chef and a kitchen assistant as well as apprenticeship opportunities.
Blaby-based leading dancewear company Freed of London have several trainee and experienced manufacturing vacancies and Hunny Nursery also have jobs and apprenticeships available.
Caring jobs are up for grabs with Shared Lives Services and Inspired to Care, and supply chain specialists Blekmann Ltd also have a number of roles in their warehouse. Leicester College can also advise on training and apprenticeship opportunities.
Arriva Midlands also have 35 jobs across Leicestershire.
Everards are hosting this event at their Everards Meadows site on Cooper Way, which is set to be twice the size of the last Job Fair in March.
Employment support is also a big part of the Jobs Fair, with Work and Skills Leicestershire offering advice and support, including CV writing and interview skills.
The Department of Work and Pensions will also be attending the Job Fair. Anyone currently with a work coach can get more details from their point of contact.
Councillor Sharon Coe, Portfolio Holder for Health, Wellbeing, Community Engagement and Business Support at Blaby District Council, said: “This is the second recruitment event we have hosted this year and each one is an important part of our commitment to helping local people find local opportunities.
“We are lucky to be welcoming local businesses who have so many exciting roles available. We look forward to welcoming people on the day, whether you’re looking for a job or the next stage in your career.”
