Cllr Clive Furness, mayoral adviser for adults and health said: “It’s fantastic to see that so many employers have signed up to attend the fair. It’s a great opportunity for Newham residents to receive professional advice and to meet real employers face-to-face.
“Many people are not aware of the wide range of career opportunities within social care and the positive impact that these professions have on the lives of others. So if you or anyone you might know are looking for a new job, or education or training opportunity, and need some help with choosing which path to go down, make sure you attend this fair.”
