Communities For Work Flintshire, Jobcentre Plus and Careers Wales will also be bringing together other local employers, and will be on hand to provide advice to job seekers and support with applications.

Alan Barker, centre manager at Broughton, said: “In previous years, our jobs fair has proved massively successful in finding hundreds of jobseekers positions at the centre.

“The past 18 months has been difficult for so many people, so we’re so excited to be bringing some brilliant opportunities to those in the local community looking for a new role or challenge.”
