People living across Bath & North East Somerset are being invited to Peasedown St John’s first ever Job Fair on Saturday 10th October.
To be held at the village’s local primary school, hundreds of job seekers and potential employees are expected to attend the event.
The Job Fair is being held thanks to a collaboration between three local organisations: Peasedown Community Trust, Peasedown St John Primary School and event sponsors, Bath College.
Speaking on behalf of the community trust is one of the main organisers of the event, B&NES Cllr Karen Walker (Peasedown St John, Independent), who said:
“We’ve been wanting for some time to organise something like this locally. There needs to be more opportunities for those looking for work to meet potential employers in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
At Peasedown’s first ever Job Fair we’re keen to pair up local employers with people living in the community who are searching for new work opportunities.
If you’re a job seeker, we’d love to see you on 10th October!”
Job Fairs are events where multiple employers, recruiters, and organisations gather to meet with potential job seekers. It allows people to speak face-to-face with hiring managers, drop off CVs, and learn about open roles, apprenticeships and graduate programmes.

“We’re delighted to be sponsoring Peasedown St John’s first ever Job Fair next week. We’ve worked with the Community Trust before who have an excellent reputation for organising local, person-centred events that bring members of the public together.
Events like these are a perfect opportunity for pairing up organisations and job hunters, with the aim of helping local people to secure employment.”
The Peasedown Job Fair will be held on Saturday 10th October, 10am – 2pm at Peasedown St John Primary School (Bath Road, BA2 8DH).
School Headteacher, Ruth Noall, added:
“We’re delighted to be hosting this special event on 10th October. As a school at the heart of the community, we’re keen to support people in many ways, and helping local people to access jobs and employment opportunities is important at a time when families need that extra little bit of support.”
