More than 100 people attended the jobs fair and many ended up securing jobs with the NHS LancsHospitals
has welcomed the success of the project, saying that it chimes with the authority’s community wealth-building agenda, part of which involves encouraging so-called “anchor institutions” like the health service to recruit staff from less well-off parts of the city.
“The NHS is a big employer locally, with good working conditions and job security and is seen as an attractive place to work for our South Asian community. We had more than 100 attendees at the initial jobs fair and NHS recruitment staff presented all sorts of vacancies at various different levels and skill sets.
“The help of Lancashire Adult Learning was also key because they were able to identify barriers in language or education, and provide short courses in Maths, English and IT to get them over the threshold – and [to] a point where they felt confident to apply for the jobs,” Cllr Coupland added.In the wake of the NHS event, the Sahara Project is now hosting regular jobs fairs with a range of local and national employers.
She added: “We also helped Lancashire Adult Learning develop a session for the attendees on how to complete the NHS application form, transferable skills and tips for the interview process, so I’m really pleased to hear that this was beneficial.
