BRAINTREE Council has announced the return of its job fair to help people looking for work in the district.

The council is hosting the job fair this autumn, which will feature a range of employers from various industries recruiting for roles located locally and across Essex.

Attendees can find out about current vacancies, register with the employers, collect information about the companies there and ask any questions about available roles.

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

Council economic growth boss Frankie Ricci said: "Job fairs are a great opportunity to talk to a range of different employers and industries in the local area.

"Whether you’re looking for your first job, a new job or a new career – be sure to drop in to the event in October to make important contacts and see the opportunities available in the district."

The jobs fair is on Saturday, October 7, from 9.30am to 12.30pm at Causeway House, Bocking End.

The event is free to attend and no booking is necessary, with free parking available at Causeway House.
