Nelson Hiring Day

Locals looking for work will have the chance to meet potential employers at the Greenmeadows Community Centre in Stoke on 8 April.

Employers hoping to fill job vacancies in Nelson and Tasman will be interviewing walk-in candidates.

The event, organised by the Ministry of Social Development, will offer a variety of roles and jobseekers may be offered work on the day.

Local employers Sealord, Talleys, Waimea Nurseries and Ryman Healthcare are expected to attend.

MSD Regional Commissioner for Nelson-Tasman, Marlborough and the West Coast, Craig Churchill, said the event will offer plenty of opportunities to local people and benefit the local community.

“Some of the largest employers in our region will be at this event and there are possibilities for great careers across these industries once your foot’s in the door,” he said.

“Our employers need local workers filling these vacancies, all of which helps the local economy rebound and grow.”
