East Riding of Yorkshire Council, in partnership with Jobcentre Plus, is inviting jobseekers, students and those considering a career change to explore exciting opportunities in the care sector at two upcoming Big Care Career Fairs this June.
The events aim to showcase the wide variety of roles available across the care sector, from frontline support roles to positions such as administration, catering, maintenance, driving and planning.
The care sector continues to evolve and offers flexibility, choice and clear career pathways. Whether visitors are looking for full‑time or part‑time work, temporary or permanent roles, or students seeking experience alongside their studies, there are opportunities for everyone.
The career fairs offer a valuable opportunity to speak directly with local adult social care employers, learn more about current and future vacancies and, where possible, apply for roles on the day. Many employers will also be available to offer advice and guidance to those interested in working in care.
Upcoming events:
Beverley: East Riding Leisure Beverley, Flemingate, Thursday 4 June, 2pm – 4pm, to register visit: The Big Care Career Fair Tickets, Thursday 4 June • 2 PM - 4 PM | Eventbrite

Careers in care are for everyone, with people from all walks of life working across the sector. There are a range of entry‑level opportunities for those taking their first step into care, as well as pathways into senior and management roles.
Councillor Jonathan Owen, cabinet member for adults, health and care at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “A career in care is like no other and it might not be what you imagine. Whether you’re looking for part‑time or full‑time work, exploring a career change or seeking experience to support your studies, these events will connect you with employers who are ready to talk about opportunities available across the East Riding.”
Liz Sargeantson, employer engagement and partnership advisor at Goole Jobcentre Plus, added: “We are proud to be working in partnership with East Riding of Yorkshire Council to deliver the Big Care Career Fairs. These events give local people the chance to explore meaningful and rewarding careers, speak directly with employers and take the next step towards work that really does make a difference.”
