Fife Council recently organised a jobs fair attended by nearly 600 people.

The event, organised in partnership with the Department for Work and Pensions, was the third of its kind this year, promoting job vacancies and career opportunities within the council.

It was held at the Glen Pavilion in Dunfermline last Wednesday, October 30.

Attendees included pupils, school-leavers, and adults of various ages considering career changes.

They were able to speak with current staff from different council services, including social care, grounds maintenance, facilities management, early years, pupil support, and trades.

Several presentations were also held, providing information on how to apply for vacancies and what to expect when working within certain services.

Sharon McKenzie, head of HR for Fife Council said: "Once again, the turnout for this latest event was really encouraging.

"It is great to see so many people keen to find out about our jobs.

"People are clearly attracted to working for Fife Council and can see the opportunities and benefits that a job for the council would bring them.

"It was a great opportunity to bring our vacancies to life with the chance to share first hand experiences from staff in a range of roles from catering and admin to adult social care and cleaning."

The council's Deaf Communication Service was also present, offering advice and assistance using British Sign Language for those attending presentations.

Ms McKenzie added: "Another great benefit on the day for those who attended was the chance to find out about the support available from staff in our job clubs and employability teams, who were there for informal chats about the interests, skills and experience that are important when applying for roles."
