Finding a job

Starting a job search can feel overwhelming, but there are plenty of places to go for support.

Skillsminer is a free online platform for all NCHA customers to access online careers and work-related support and guidance. It will help you to search for job vacancies that match your skills.

If you’re looking for a particular type of job in a specific area, a job search website will help you find it. You can set up an account to get regular updates when jobs that match your criteria are added. For example, jobs in Loughborough that require admin skills.

Jobs pages for specific employers

If you’d like to find a job with a specific employer, such as your local council or a business that is based in your area, check their website to see if they have a jobs page of their own. They may also give you the option to register for alerts so that you are sent information about new jobs. As an example, take a look at the jobs page on the NCHA website.

Job interviews

An interview can sound intimidating, but with the right preparation, you'll put yourself in a good position. The National Careers Service website has advice on preparing for job interviews.
