Chesterfield Borough Council is hosting a pop-up recruitment event in the Pavements Shopping Centre on Thursday 27 October from 10am to 2pm.

The event will take place in Unit 25 of the Pavements Shopping Centre, previously Wards Shoe Shop, opposite Boots.

Also attending the recruitment event are colleagues from the Department for Work and Pensions and the Careers Service at Derbyshire County Council.

People can find out more about current vacancies at the council, and representatives from the Human Resources department will be on hand to answer any questions people may have about working for the organisation.

New vacancies are added to the council’s website every week, so whether residents are looking to take their first steps into the workplace or are looking for a more senior role, they can visit the website to find out more about current opportunities to work at the council.

Councillor Sharon Blank, cabinet member for governance, said: “This is the second pop-up event we have held in the Pavement’s Shopping Centre, and we are encouraging anyone looking for work to drop in to see us during the event times.

“The recruitment event is taking place on the same day as the popular 1940s market, so if you are heading into the town centre, come along to see us and find out what roles are available at the council and ask any questions you have about how to complete application forms, or the level of experience needed for various positions”.

The council has a commitment to support residents to find new job opportunities, and have access to skills, training and apprenticeships, and the council colleagues who are hosting the event will also be able to provide information about what’s on offer.

Those attending can bring their CV along and leave it with the team to be considered for any future vacancies that may be suitable for them.

The council’s website and social media channels are updated regularly with new positions, so anyone looking for work is encouraged to check these sites for the latest opportunities.

This is a drop in event, and no appointment is needed.
