An event in Hereford this month will bring together local, regional and national companies to help people find jobs and reduce unemployment across the county.

The Hereford Job Fair – organised by employment charity Landau – will showcase more than 500 job vacancies across multiple sectors including retail, construction and hospitality.

The free event on October 21 will be an opportunity for individuals out of work or looking for their next challenge to speak to employers face-to-face about potential opportunities on offer.

Sonia Roberts, Chief Executive of Landau, said: “This is a great opportunity for employers to speak to local individuals about their skills, talents and aspirations for work whilst at the same time giving people the chance to explore the wide variety of jobs currently available.

“With the furlough scheme coming to an end we are aware that many people may be looking for work and we would encourage anyone who is currently unemployed to come along and take advantage of meeting employers and finding out about the jobs they have on offer.”

The event will take place between 10am and 2pm and people are invited to drop in throughout the day.
