Looking for a job? Here's what you need to know about the launch of Harborough Jobs Week

A new campaign being spearheaded by Harborough council could be just the job for you.

The district council’s Economic Development Team is looking for employers to take part in the first Harborough Jobs Week.

The special week will run from Monday March 22 – Sunday March 28 across the authority’s website and social media platforms.

Job vacancies will be featured as well as useful employment support opportunities for job seekers in the district.

Employers can let the council know about available job vacancies.

They will be advertised for free across the council’s channels during that week.

“In addition, if businesses have videos or information about what it’s like to work in their sector or within their business, the team would love to hear from you.

Get in touch now to be included at [email protected],” said Harborough council.

A range of webinars will also be staged.

They will offer further support to residents seeking employment - on issues from job searching to writing CVs, job applications and interview skills.

“The week is part of the council’s ongoing support to help residents and local businesses recovering from the effects of the pandemic restrictions.

“The council’s Economic Development Team is working with a range of partners, including local Job Centre Plus, Department for Work and Pensions and the local Work and Skills Forum, to deliver the week,” added the council.

Cllr Phil King, who heads up Harborough District Council, said: “This is an excellent opportunity for local businesses to reach a pool of potential local candidates and fill their vacancies.

“I really hope all sizes of local businesses will engage with this exciting inaugural event.”
