Jobseekers could be in with a chance of finding new employment with nearly 2,000 roles up for grabs at a popular fayre at Bluewater tomorrow.

The Learning Shop has teamed up with the shopping centre for the fourth consecutive year to offer permanent and temporary positions from more than 80 leading businesses.

Over 1,800 jobs are available - a 20% increase on last year - with management positions made available for the first time.

Companies taking part in the fayre include Arriva Buses, Hackett, Next, Five Guys, Showcase Cinemas along with anchor stores John Lewis, House of Fraser and Marks & Spencer.

Opening times for the fayre have been extended this year from 11am to 5pm to allow candidates more time to meet employers in Glow's Upper Hall.

Those wishing to register their interest before the event can do so via The Learning Shop's website.

Dartford MP Gareth Johnson and mayor Ian Armitt will be among the visitors on the day.

Mr Johnson said: "The Jobs Fayre has done so much for the local community over the past few years, changing the lives of thousands of people in Dartford and the wider community.

"It’s amazing to be part of its growth and success, and to see the number of retailers and restaurants now involved offering a wider range of exciting positions.

"The Jobs Fayre demonstrates why Bluewater and The Learning Shop are used nationally as an example of how the public and private sectors can work together to create long-term, sustainable recruitment and training opportunities."

Speaking on behalf of The Learning Shop’s partners, Robert Goodman, Bluewater’s General Manager, added: "The 2015 Jobs Fayre is very exciting. Not only do we have a record number of positions available but the strongest retailer engagement with support from many leading UK and international brands.

"The new management roles and high level of permanent positions are testament to the success of the Jobs Fayre in past years and its reputation within the retail and restaurant sectors to launch successful careers."

In addition, The Learning Shop will be holding CV workshops throughout the day and the team will also be available to offer any advice to prospective candidates.
