Darlington Jobs Fair returns

Darlington Jobs Fair returns to the Dolphin Centre on Thursday 9 February. The event is free to attend on a drop-in basis between 10am-2pm.

Last year’s event was a ‘huge success’ with hundreds of people visiting and taking advantage of the chance to meet with employers and training providers. This year’s event ties in with National Apprenticeship Week with a range of apprenticeship roles available. Apprenticeships can have a positive impact on any business and there will be a range of options for new careers

There will be opportunities for all levels of experience and education backgrounds from over 70 different employers with hundreds of job opportunities available.

Attendees will have the chance to talk to employers and discover opportunities in sectors with a wide variety of roles available, including finance, management, care, engineering, IT, administration, HR, forensics, communications/media, vehicle mechanic, research roles, personal trainer, sports therapist, software developers, paddle board instructors, warehouse, commis chefs and more.

Amongst the organisations already set to attend are Aldi, Lidl, Durham Police, Arriva, EE, NHS, Darlington Economic Campus, Darlington Borough Council, Premier Inn, Royal Air Force, Nobia, Rockcliffe Hall, Premier Inn, Student Loans and Darlington College, as well as a range of employers from the hospitality and health care sectors.

Also, the Civil Service will be hosting a workshop talking about the job opportunities in the heart of Government at the Darlington Economic Campus.

For those whose first language is not English, support will be available from the new Translation and Support Hub. Interpretation services will be available as well as access to support for those looking to improve their English skills.

Councillor Jamie Bartch, Darlington Borough Council’s cabinet member for economy said:“I am delighted to see the Jobs Fair return this year offering even more to local jobhunters with skillshops from Google Digital Garage and more than 70 local employers and support organisations ready and willing to offer help, advice, and jobs. It will be a one stop shop for those looking for work or a career change.”
