📌 Neurodiverse Careers Event, 2nd Floor, Cramlington Hub, Retail Park, Manor Walks Shopping Centre, NE23 6YB
📅 When: Wednesday 13 November 2024
🕰 Time: 2.30pm – 3.30pm
Next Wednesday, a Careers Event is being delivered to support neurodiverse residents. The event offers the opportunity for residents to meet employers to discuss vacancies including support with the recruitment process and reasonable adjustments, and to attend a mock interview to develop confidence with interview skills.
Please share this with your teams as the event is only being promoted via the Northumberland Employability Network. Workers are encouraged to attend with their participants for support, participants do not need a formal neurodiverse diagnosis to attend.
To support the needs of our neurodiverse customers, the event has intentionally been designed on a small scale. Please see details of employers attending below, including what they will be able to offer:
Northumberland County Council: Live vacancies and looking to discuss how participants can help improve their recruitment processes
Barclays Bank: Mock interviews, employability advice
Akzo Nobel: Live vacancies, application and interview support
Northumberland National Park Authority: Mock interviews, access to employment/volunteering and accessibility
Simpsons Malt: Mock interviews and access to employment
