This is the fifth job fair that has been organised by the MP, but the first in Thornbury, with past events having helped many people find a new career – and this time around it is believed that hundreds of jobs on offer.

Mr Hall said: “I’m delighted to be able to organise my fifth Local Job fair in our area but for the first time in Thornbury.

“There will be a wide range of job opportunities on offer for those who may be looking for their first job, want a change in career or are just looking to get back into the work place.

“Unemployment in our area has reduced steadily since 2010 and I hope this fair will help keep to build upon that even further”

The job fair will run from 1pm to 2.30pm.
