Caring careers will be showcased at a major recruitment event in Penrith this Saturday (3 March).
Dozens of applicants have already signed up for the Careers Fair which has been organised by Cumbria County Council to provide information and advice for people considering a career in social care in Cumbria.
The county council hopes the event at Rheged will attract new recruits to work with a wide range of clients in Cumbria including young people, older people and people with physical and learning disabilities.
The event takes place from 10:00am to 4:00pm and people who have not yet signed up to attend can simply turn up and register on the day. More information can be found on the website www.carefaircumbria.info
For people who attend, there will be the chance to take part in free seminars, find out more about a social care career in Cumbria and talk to staff about their experiences.
