Hundreds of jobs, opportunities, skills training and support are on offer next month in Leicester, as Severn Trent is set to host ‘Big Boost for Leicester‘.
Hosted at the central, Leicester Tigers ground, Mattioli Woods Welford Road Stadium on Thursday 1st May, between 10am and 2pm – the jobs fair is bringing together jobs, employers, job seekers and much more to the city.

More than 20 local employers are set to join the water company including Leicestershire Police, MWH Treatment and Army Jobs as organisations and businesses are coming together in getting more people across the city into work. Any employer with work who’d like to recruit for their jobs free alongside Severn Trent are also encouraged to get in touch.
Alongside hundreds of job opportunities, people who attend can also make use of its free interview training using virtual reality and A.I, as well as CV workshops – along with cost-of-living support and help with water bills.
Jo Brookes, from Societal Events Officer at Severn Trent said: “This is the first time we’re hosting this event in Leicester, and from our work already across the city we know there’s lots of potential and opportunities to offer local people jobs and support.
“These events are about connecting people to what opportunities are out there and we’re really looking forward to being joined by some great employers across the city.
“If people aren’t looking for jobs though, there’s still plenty to gain from the event – as we’re offering free employment skills, help with CV’s, interview practice as well as cost of living help and support – so really is something for everyone.”
The Big Boost is an extension of the work Severn Trent is already doing in the city, where it’s recently recruited for a brand-new call centre, and worked with local job centres and employment hubs to connect those long term unemployed to the jobs.
