Calling all local job hunters! Horsham District Jobs and Skills Fair recruiters announced
Horsham District Council is issuing a call out to all local job hunters who are looking for paid work, voluntary work or new training opportunities to come along to the Horsham District Jobs and Skills Fair which, after a break last year is now back for 2021.
The 2021 Jobs and Skills Fair will take place on Saturday 2 October from 10am to 3pm at the Drill Hall in Denne Road, Horsham.
Following the great success of previous Jobs Fairs, including a virtual one last year due to the pandemic, where hundreds of local jobseekers have been matched with hundreds of local jobs, the Fair is making a welcome return with the promise of lots of jobs, apprenticeships and training opportunities on offer.
The Fair, organised by Horsham District Council, will be a great opportunity for those seeking a job, thinking of changing their existing one or considering on-the-job training through an apprenticeship to meet a wide range of employers eager to recruit and grow their organisations.
Just some of the employers and training providers who have signed up to attend this year include:
- Assurity Consulting
- The Army
- Chichester College
- Creative Technology
- Piron Recycling
- Places Leisure
- Schroders asset management
- Proud to Care
- South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAMB)
- Sussex Police
- Border Force
- Thomas Keating
- West Sussex County Council
- Horsham District Council.
Horsham District Council Cabinet Member for the Local Economy Cllr Chris Brown commented:
“The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted the lives of many people in our local area, not least in terms of their prospects for employment.
“”I am delighted that we can hold our Jobs Fair as a live event this year, as I believe it will play an important role in securing new opportunities for residents and will also help many businesses with their post pandemic recruitment plans.
“I would encourage as many people as possible who are looking for work or to start new training programmes to save the date and come along on the day to meet the broad range of employers and check out the many opportunities on offer.”
The fair looks to build on the success of five previous physical events (and a number of online trials) which have in the past helped hundreds of local companies connect with local people looking to find jobs and grow their skills in our ever-changing jobs market.
Following on from the physical event this year, all opportunities will then be posted on our vacancies website https://www.jobsfair.horsham.gov.uk/ .

“Lost and Found: The Monument to Francis Mond by Raynor Hoff”
A Talk by Holly Trusted
Captain Francis Leopold Mond (1896-1918) was killed in action during the First World War. The memorial to him is on the north-east wall of St Mary’s Church Storrington, West Sussex. It was executed by the young British sculptor Rayner Hoff (1894-1937). This bold and moving work is often overlooked by visitors; the guide book to the church for example does not mention it. Yet its history is intensely poignant, and just as importantly it is an extremely impressive monument sculpturally, worthy of the heroic young man it commemorates. This lecture will centre on this memorial, and the daunting woman who was primarily responsible for it: Francis’s mother, Angela Primrose Hamilton Schweich Mond (née Goetze) (1871-1941).
Dr Holly Trusted FSA is a graduate of Cambridge University and the Courtauld Institute of Art, and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. A Senior Honorary Research Fellow at the Victoria and Albert Museum, she was previously Senior Curator of Sculpture at the V&A. She is co-founder and co-chair of the Public Statues and Sculpture Association and founding editor of the Sculpture Journal. She has lectured and published widely on sculpture, including British Sculpture 1470-2000 (2002), The Arts of Spain: Iberia and Latin America 1450-1700(2007), The Making of Sculpture (2007), Baroque and Later Ivories(2013) and The Cast Courts (2018). She is currently preparing a book on German baroque sculpture.
This talk will be held at the Old School on Friday 22nd October at 3.00pm.
