Do you want to make a real difference to people’s lives, including your own?

If so, then why not find out more about the wide range of rewarding career opportunities in the social care and health sector at a major careers festival in Newport next month?

Employers from across the Island are joining forces once again in a drive to find new recruits looking to make a real difference to people’s lives.

The festival is taking place on Wednesday 18 September at the Lord Louis Library from 10am to 2pm.

Last year’s festival attracted more than 800 people with interviews and job offers being made throughout the day.

Councillor Debbie Andre, Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Public Health said “A career in care and health offers a great deal of reward, not just from the impact you can have on the lives of people living in our community, but also from the professional development, amazing co-workers, career progression and great employee benefits available.”

Everyone is welcome, whether you are looking for a job on the day, or exploring new career paths, visitors  will have an opportunity to ask questions and meet people who already have rewarding careers in care and health on the island.

There will also be information about current vacancies and the opportunity for people to express their interest and/or have an initial interview on the day.

Local employers showcasing their jobs and career opportunities include Isle of Wight Council and the Isle of Wight NHS Trust along with private and independent care and health organisations from across the Island.

The DWP  will also be at the event to provide support to individual job seekers including interview tips, CV guidance and job search support.

If you are looking to develop a rewarding career within the care and health sector, then our teams would like to meet you.
