Coming to Putney on 6th August

The Work Match Recruitment Roadshow began a tour of the borough this week as part of Wandsworth Council's local employment drive.

The teams will be by St Mary’s Church, on the High Street, from 10am - 2pm, where they will showcase a range of job and training opportunities for local people.

Residents can come and meet the team of specialist placement officers, find out about live vacancies in the local area and get top tips on how to succeed with job applications and interviews.

Local businesses are also being encouraged to pay the team a visit to find out how they can help them with their recruitment needs.

Work Match’s services are free to Wandsworth based employers. They are already working with a range of national and local businesses to help them identity suitable, job-ready candidates from within the borough. Work Match helped Sainsbury’s on Garratt Lane to fill 11 new jobs.

The team’s focus is on securing sustainable, long term job outcomes so they ensure every candidate they put forward is well prepared, equipped and qualified for the role. The team recruits for a range of industries including construction, retail, catering, administration, events and many more.

Since starting up late last year Work Match has secured jobs for more than 100 people and helped hundreds more through jobs fairs and pre-employment skills training.  

The Recruitment Roadshows take place from 10am to 2pm at the following dates and places:
Wednesday 6th August – By St Mary’s Church, Putney High Street
Thursday 14th August – By Jamie’s Recipease, St Johns Road, Clapham Junction
