Wolves Workbox is hosting the Childcare Jobs and Opportunities Fair at Wolves at Work, Unit 5, i10, Victoria Square, Wolverhampton on Saturday 19 October from 10am to 1pm.
It will offer information on working in the childcare sector, with local providers discussing vacancies and apprentice opportunities. People will be able to apply for vacancies on the day and provide their contact details so they can get employability support from Wolves at Work staff.
There will also be information about the Do Something Big recruitment campaign's 'golden hello' payment of up to £1,000 for people entering or returning to the sector.
There is no need to book – simply turn up on the day. For further information, please call the Wolves at Work team on 01902 554400 or email wolvesatwork@wolverhampton.gov.uk.
Councillor Jacqui Coogan, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Education, said: "Childcare is a job with impact. Working with small children, you get to be part of their early education and to make a difference that lasts a lifetime.
"You can be part of a team or lead a team in nurseries, pre-schools, playgroups or schools, or you can be your own boss and become a childminder, and with the recent expansion of free childcare to working parents, there are plenty of jobs out there.
"So, if you are thinking of entering or returning to the sector, please come along to the Childcare Jobs and Opportunities Fair to find out more."
