A host of job opportunities in the Black Country will be on offer at Sandwell Jobs Fair next month, thanks to the Individual Placement and Support and Retention Employment Services at Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
The event, which is free to attend, takes place at West Bromwich Library on Thursday 20 June, and is open to anyone looking for a job in the Black Country.
Local employers with live vacancies from across the Black Country and Birmingham will be on hand to chat to people looking for a role and to give advice on applications.
Employers from a variety of industries and sectors will be taking part, including West Midlands Police, JD Gyms, Zest Education and West Bromwich Building Society to name a few.
The Individual Placement and Support and Retention team at BCHFT provides support to individuals across the Black Country who aim to enter some form of paid employment or wish to change their job to better suit their needs.
The service is available to people who are open to secondary mental health services in the Black Country and the team is made up of vocational specialists who provide one to one support to help people achieve their goals. Vocational specialists can help clients identify jobs they want, search and apply for jobs and support individuals in their place of work.
The team regularly hold job fairs for Black Country job seekers, with their previous event in April being attended by 170 people, showcasing over 20 organisations who had open and local vacancies.
The event takes place from 10am to 2pm and is open to both the general public and IPS clients.
Selina Cudjoe, Team Lead for IPS Sandwell said: “Our last job fair received fantastic feedback from employers and job seekers who found the day informative and supportive. Our vocational specialists are on hand to help individuals find paid, sustainable employment as well as engaging with suitable employers to match the right candidates to the right roles.
“Anyone who is looking for a new role in the Black Country is welcome to come along and kick start their job search journey.”
