FINAL preparations are under way for a jobs fair at Oxford Town Hall where hundreds of new opportunities will be on offer.
The Oxford Mail’s sister paper The Oxford Times has organised its first jobs fair on Thursday at the Town Hall in St Aldate’s, from 10am to 5pm.
Major employers have exhibition stands including Oxford University Hospitals, the RAF, Army Careers, Thames Valley Police, learning disabilities charity Style Acre, Grundon Waste Management and event sponsors Day and Nightcare Assistance.
There are now 35 companies which have confirmed attendance and BMW UK Manufacturing is among the latest to sign up.
Supermarket chain Waitrose, which last year opened a new store in Botley Road, is also seeking to recruit new staff and the Midcounties Co-op has vacancies in food retail, travel and health care.
Tesco has also booked a stand at the jobs fair and is looking to recruit store managers.
Another firm taking part is food supplier Fresh Direct, which has a base in Bicester.
There are a number of different vacancies for customer services, warehouse staff and lorry drivers.
Jobs fair co-ordinator Belinda Rand said: “It is going to be a very busy day, with lots of job opportunities on offer.”
