Local Christmas Jobs
It's coming up to that time of year again, with many local businesses offering part-time, seasonal work.
Do you want some extra cash to pay for all those Christmas presents you're intending to buy?
Many local businesses are offering part-time, flexible opportunities:
- The Royal Mail are advertising casual work opportunities here at three of their local sorting offices in Norwich.
- Toys 'R' Us... click here.
- Debenhams... Search 'Sales Advisor' here.
- Boots have opportunities at their Norwich stores in Chapelfield, Castle Mall and the business park near the Norwich City Football Ground... click here.

1. You can do a little research on company websites. At the bottom of their website, you'll usually find a link to their 'Jobs' or 'Careers' pages. Christmas is a very busy time in the retail industry. You may find something that's just for you! Remember you're looking for 'part-time', 'temporary' opportunities.
2. Do a Google search, by typing something in like 'Christmas Jobs Norwich' and see what appears! You'll probably be offered links to job opportunity websites. Some companies prefer to use these portals as well as their own websites.

NHS Apprenticeships
Annie Cook, Apprenticeship Coordinator from the Norwich & Central Norfolk NHS Apprenticeship Programme has contacted us.
She writes, "It is a very exciting time within the NHS locally with many more departments advertising posts as Apprenticeships over the next few weeks and months. I thought I would make you aware so that you can highlight it within TSAS. All new posts will be advertised on NHS Jobs www.jobs.nhs.uk."
"Anyone applying needs to spend time on their supporting statement and include any volunteering they do, as well as hobbies, etc.," Annie adds.
New Website Launched
We've updated the old website to take into account some of the changes with Careers Education locally and nationally.
The plan has to been to create a more user-friendly site with some levels of interactivity. Take a look by clicking on one of the menu buttons down the left-hand side.
