East Riding of Yorkshire Council, in partnership with Jobcentre Plus, is inviting jobseekers, students and those looking to change their careers to explore opportunities in the care sector at three upcoming Big Care Career Fairs this February.
These fairs aim to showcase the wide variety of roles available in care, from frontline support to behind-the-scenes positions such as IT, gardening, driving, cooking, maintenance and planning.
The event would suit those looking for full-time or part-time work, temporary or permanent roles, or students seeking experience alongside their studies.
Visitors can speak directly with local adult social care businesses and discover the wide variety of careers available across the region. There will be information on current and future vacancies, with many of the employers offering CV advice.
