Goulburn Murray Local Jobs is holding a jobs recruitment event in Benalla on Tuesday, November 21 to connect local individuals with employers in the aged care, disability and early childhood sector.
The aim is to enhance the care workforce, expand the knowledge of local work opportunities and provide potential pathways to enter the sector.
All persons interested in starting or returning to a career in the care sector are encouraged to attend on the day.
The Local Jobs Recruitment Event will provide an opportunity for short job interviews to take place on the day, with participating employers encouraged to offer employment to individuals at the event.
Jobs available on the day include domestic or kitchen assistant, home care support worker, personal care worker, disability support worker, early childhood educator and enrolled or registered nurse.
Goulburn Murray Local Jobs seeks to provide tailored responses to support local labour markets. One approach is to hold targeted recruitment events to promote the opportunities in the growing care and support sector.
“We have found, if you target a recruitment event at one industry, you can guarantee that every person that walks through the door is already invested in seeking employment in that sector,” Goulburn Murray employment facilitator Brendan Sheridan said.
“This is a fantastic event for the Benalla community to connect directly with local employers in a relaxed environment to explore vast employment opportunities available in the care and support sector.”
Everyone considering a career in the care and support sector is invited to update their resume and go to the Lakeside Community Centre Benalla Showgrounds on Tuesday, November 21 between 9.30am and 12:30pm, to meet with employers, including Cooinda, Calvary Care, Estia Health, Benalla Health, Gateway Health, Infinity Coordination & Supports, Living Goals, Yooralla and Benalla Kid Cottage.
GOTAFE Skills and Job Centre will also attend on the day to provide free assistance with resumes, applications and training options.
