Rushden Lakes recruitment event returns with more than 40 job roles on offer
Recruit Rushden Lakes is returning next month to showcase more than 40 available job roles at the shopping and leisure destination, as well as roles within Northants Police, Fire and Rescue and North Northants Council.
Rushden Lakes’ charity of the year, The Never Alone Project, will also be in attendance to promote the charity’s volunteering opportunities.
The free-to-attend event is on Tuesday, October 7 at the Leisure Terrace Level 1 (opposite Cineworld).
Between 10am and 1pm, attendees will have the chance to discuss available job roles with potential employers from brands including Marks & Spencer, Lago Lounge, The Card Factory and Beaverbrooks.
The Department of Work and Pensions will be in attendance to support the event, with representatives from National Careers Service and Tresham College on hand to provide guidance and information to those seeking employment or an exciting new opportunity.
There will also be CV workshops, careers and interview advice, and training courses to help develop new skills.
Invitations have been extended to representatives of North Northants Council, Labour Party (Wellingborough), and Reform UK (Rushden Lakes).
