A JOB centre has coaches available to help people into work following a surge of vacancies.

Newquay JobCentre Plus in East Street has a number of roles to fill in “virtually” every sector.

Judith May from Newquay Jobcentre said: “With spring just around the corner we’re looking forward to helping more jobseekers and local businesses.

“For jobseekers our work coaches are geared up to provide the right support to get them job ready, including access to training and voluntary work experience.

“This along with specialist services through the Disability Employment Advisors, can act as a springboard to a new career.

“For employers we can host recruitment days and identify suitable applicants to fill their vacancies, and we’d encourage them to get in touch to find out more.

“Currently there are vacancies in virtually every sector, whether that’s hospitality or health care.

“In particular we’re working with holiday parks across Cornwall and Celtic Sea Power who are looking at delivering offshore renewable energy over the next few years.

“Also, we’ve organised Sector Based Work Academies for hospitality, and CSCS construction courses. Recent apprenticeship events held across Cornwall were very successful, with opportunities available across many sectors including engineering and the NHS.

“More events are planned in the coming months including Jobfairs where a variety of employers are invited to attend an event to support customers into work”.

Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall said: “Since July wages have continued to grow at pace, putting vital money back in people’s pockets as we work to make work pay and improve living standards for all.

“But these figures also show that too many people are being locked out of work and denied that chance, including those sick and disabled. Instead of writing people off and labelling them, we must step up our support.

“Through our Get Britain Working reforms we are overhauling Jobcentres, guaranteeing every young person the chance to earn or learn and our upcoming Green Paper will bring fundamental change to a broken system that currently pushes people towards welfare instead of work.”
