BRAINTREE Council has announced it will be holding its second job fair this year in the autumn.

The job fair will be held at Queen’s Hall in Halstead and will feature up to 30 employers from various industries for roles located across the district and county.

Attendees will be able to find out about career opportunities, training and further education, graduate schemes, apprenticeships and more at the event which is suitable for people of 19 years and above looking for opportunities from entry to advanced level and advice.

The event is free and no booking is necessary to attend.

There will also be a live jobs feed on the Braintree District Council X (formerly Twitter) account @BraintreeDC providing live updates on current vacancies and roles throughout the day.

Braintree Council's economic growth boss Frankie Ricci said: “Following the success of our last job fair in spring, we’re pleased to bring the job fair to Halstead this autumn.

"These events are a great opportunity for residents to find out about the range of job opportunities available in the district and within Essex.”

Employers wishing to have a free stall at the Job Fair can contact economic.development@braintree.gov.uk to enquire.

Limited spaces remain, on a first come first served basis.

The event is from 9.30am to 12.30pm on Saturday, November 2.
