A new job club has been set up at the Colin Bryant Community in west Ealing to help local residents find employment.
Taking place every Monday from 1-4pm, it will run sessions offering a range of support for including guidance from a dedicated employment advisor to develop and improve CVs, search for employment opportunities and apply for roles.
The drop-in sessions will also provide access to training courses and job opportunities through the Clarion Futures network, as well as support to improve digital skills and benefit from device loan schemes.
Clarion Futures, is the charitable foundation of Clarion Housing Group which owns and manages hundreds of homes across Ealing.
The Colin Bryant Centre sits at the centre of the Sherwood Close redevelopment being delivered by Clarion Housing Group in partnership with Ealing Council.
The development of the seventies housing estate is now in its third and final phase, and will ultimately deliver 362 new homes, with two thirds being affordable.
The Colin Bryant Centre is managed by Nucleus Community Action, a not-for-profit local advice and guidance organisation, in partnership with Clarion Futures and provides a space for people to come together to take part in activities and access support.
Victoria Whittle, Head of Jobs and Training at Clarion Futures, said, “We know that often people face a wide range of barriers to finding work, and that’s why job clubs like this one are so important, providing personalised advice and support.
“The drop-in sessions are open to all local residents, not just those living in Clarion homes, and we’re hoping to see lots of people coming through the doors to help kickstart their job search.”
Colin Bryant Centre is at Unit A, 1 Longbow Apartments, Holbeck Road, West Ealing, W13 9HB.
