Have you ever fancied a job in retail? 

We've teamed up with The Learning Shop in Bluewater to hold three Pop Up Job Clubs this September, helping you find your dream job in retail or hospitality. 

The Learning Shop was is Bluewater's only official job site and is a unique partnership between Bluewater, North Kent College and the Department for Work and Pensions.  It's the only place you'll find all the available jobs in Bluewater in one place. It's also the first place shops and restaurants in Bluewater turn to when they're looking to recruit. 

The job clubs will give one to one advice and support with:

  • Applying for jobs at Bluewater Shopping Centre
  • Reviewing your CV
  • Tips on a successful application and interview. 

Pauline Smith, Training and Employment Officer says: "The job club is a fantastic opportunity for local people to find the perfect job for them - whether that's a few hours a week at the weekend, or a full-time permanent role. With The Learning Shop on hand, it's a great chance to get inside tips on how to bag a job in retail or hospitality."

The clubs will be held at Swanley Citizens Advice on 10, 11, 17 and 24 September, 10.30am - 2pm. Spaces are limited so please book in advance by emailing westkentworks@wkha.org.uk or calling 01732 749420.
