BEXHILL Jobs & Apprenticeships Fair, the free employment and skills event for the whole community, will be back at the De La Warr Pavilion for the 10th time on Friday 6 March, between 10.30am and 3.30pm.
The fair, in association with Bexhill College and Talent Accelerator, is an opportunity to explore hundreds of full and part-time job vacancies, apprenticeships, training and skills development opportunities, back to work support and guidance and vocational and recreational courses.
Over 50 businesses and organisations from across the region will be recruiting into roles in Financial Services, Technology, Hospitality, Health & Social Care, Professional Services, Manufacturing, Engineering, Sport & Leisure, Construction, Education, Transport and other sectors.
Employers new to the 2026 fair include Park Holidays UK, British Gypsum, East Sussex Fire and Rescue Services and Rother District Council Coastal Office with regular exhibitors back at the event including Hastings Direct, Greymoor Construction Ltd, Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and Govia Thameslink Railway.
Kieran Mullan MP said: ‘In a jobs market where the application process is now focussed online, the fair is a refreshing and valuable opportunity to talk direct to employers. At this year’s event there will be a fantastic mix of large and small businesses and organisations recruiting into live job vacancies at all levels. I would urge anyone looking for a first or new job, or thinking about returning to work or changing career, to come along on 6 March to meet the employers and discover what they have to offer.’
Stewart Drew, Director & CEO, De La Warr Pavilion, said: ‘Bexhill Jobs & Apprenticeships Fair is always a friendly and welcoming event. The afternoon Quiet Time will be in operation once again for visitors with access needs or those who would prefer a quieter environment. And the fair is really easy to get on public transport – the 99 bus even stops right outside! We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone to the Pavilion for what promises to be a very special 10th fair.’
Bexhill Chamber of Commerce will be back at the event with their free CV reviews and the Creative Industries Zone will be offering entry level and skills development opportunities to young people interested in a creative career. Free workshops will run throughout the day, and support for job seekers will be available from organisations including Connect to Work East Sussex. The Quiet Time will be in operation between 2pm and 3.30pm. d/Deaf, disabled and neurodiverse visitors particularly welcome during this period.
A not-for-profit community-led initiative, Bexhill Jobs & Apprenticeships Fair is organised by the De La Warr Pavilion, Kieran Mullan MP, Bexhill College and Rother District Council with the support of Bexhill Chamber of Commerce.
