11th February 2008

Disabled jobseekers will have the ideal opportunity to meet top Leeds employers at a jobs fair organised by Remploy, the UK’s leading provider of employment services for disabled people.

The event will take place on 20th February 2008 at Remploy’s city centre branch on South Parade between 11am and 2pm, and is open to anyone with a disability or health condition who is looking for work. Visitors will be able to see at first hand the employment opportunities available in the area and the wide range of support services provided by Remploy.

Key local employers, including Wilkinson, RBS, McDonalds, Leeds Metropolitan University, Mitie Managed Services and the Co-op are keen to recruit disabled employees and will be exhibiting at the event.

Remploy specialist employment advisors will be available to help jobseekers link up with local employers and offer guidance on job searching and training opportunities.

Remploy is the UK's leading provider of employment services for people with disabilities and health conditions. The opening of its Leeds branch in August 2006 marked a new direction in the company’s determination to find jobs for even more people in Leeds. Almost 300 local people have secured jobs via the branch and it is hoped that the jobs fair will increase further the number of disabled people supported into employment in the city.

Jobseekers on incapacity or other health related benefits are invited to visit the branch or telephone 0845 155 2561 for further information.
