DUE to a shortage of carers in the Vale of Glamorgan a recruitment event has been organised.

Vale of Glamorgan Council is hosting the recruitment event which will involve more than 20 local employers and will have full-time and part-time jobs available, with no previous experience necessary.

The Careers in Care event is being held at the Paget Rooms in Penarth on Tuesday, November 2, from 10am to 3pm.

Cllr Ben Gray, Cabinet Member for Social Care and Health, said: “With care providers across the Vale all looking to urgently recruit new staff the Council is hosting an event to bring employers and job seekers together.

“Working in care can be incredibly rewarding. It is a career that allows people to go home at the end of the day knowing they have made a very real difference to someone. 

“Our event will have carers employed in a variety of roles on hand to talk to potential applicants about their jobs and the opportunities working in care can bring.

“If you are interested in a career in care, then we’d love to meet you.”
