From drop-in sessions and online courses to support finding a job and advice from expert partners, West Northamptonshire Council’s (WNC) free Employment Support Service is available all year round for every resident to access the support and training needed to find local employment. The service also enables every employer to utilise the skilled local workforce to grow their business.
The Employment Support Service provides a range of assistance to make finding a job as easy as possible.

“There is a vast and growing range of employment opportunities in West Northants, from working in our thriving transport and logistics industries, to engineering and construction, to retail and hospitality – we have something for everyone.
“Supporting local businesses and helping people into employment is one of the council’s top priorities which is why we have invested £1.5m of our UK Shared Prosperity Fund into People & Skills.
