In partnership with Ealing and Hounslow Community Voluntary service (EHCVS), Learn Hounslow, Community Hub and Libraries, we're hosting this event to support unemployed residents aged 18+ and current students and graduates from Learn Hounslow (Hounslow Council's adult education provider). Residents needing extra help to access career information and opportunities available in the community are also welcome.


At the event, you'll: 
  • Meet employers, volunteering organisations who can provide information of volunteering, work placement and paid job oportunities
  • Access employment guidance and support from Work Hounslow
  • Ask questions about opportunities and support available
There will be multiple roles in volunteering, work placement and paid jobs across sectors, including gardening and horticultural, health & social care, hospitality, IT, early years, education and language from over 16 companies and organisations. The Council teams including Work Hounslow and Learn Hounslow will be available to provide information and support.
