\u201cAs a local employer and one of the region\u2019s largest charities, we have a range of vacancies that were showcased at the event, upholding our purpose of creating a vibrant multi-cultural and self-sustaining community. The event was also a great way for the Trust to collaborate with local employers and support them with reaching people seeking their next step.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
