The Jobcentre has been organising a spate of Jobs Fair as vacancies number in Peterborough last month went about 500.

Julia Nix, District Manager for East Anglia Jobcentre Plus, said: “Our work coaches are playing an increasingly important role by supporting businesses to fill their vacancies, while helping more people get ready to enter the jobs market.

“We are holding regular jobs fairs and work academies including our next Jobs Fair at City College Peterborough to support our young people."

Among employers currently looking for more staff is facilities management company Bardwood Support Services, which is looking to fill 10 positions for security staff in a number of retail stores, outdoors landscaping and grounds maintenance company E&G Grounds wants to hire two staff while Goldhay Arts wants to recruit a store supervisor for its Charity Shop plus a number of volunteering roles.
