by Ethos public relations

A new Work Club, where job seekers can get advice and support on finding employment is being launched in Hollinwood, Oldham thanks to the collaboration of local organisations.

The Work Club will give people of Hollinwood the chance to meet others looking for work, build new contacts, share job hunting experiences and get advice on interview techniques, basic computer skills, updating a CV and even volunteering opportunities.

Sarah Furbey, Contour Homes Community Development Worker will be running the Club and be supported by other local organisations including Regenda Housing, Hollinwood Children’s Centre and volunteers and staff from the Library Service.

Sarah said: “Research shows that the best way to find another job is through friends, family or social networks, which is why we have set up a Work Club in this area.

“Sessions will also include guest speakers from local businesses, who will share their advice and news about any opportunities in the area.”

The first Work Club will be 20th October and then every Thursday at Limehurst Library between 1pm and 3pm. Make an appointment on 0161 624 0351 or email limehurstlibrary@oldham.gov.uk.

If you are local company who would like to add its support, please contact Sarah Furbey on 07985 538229.
