A high priority for the Kent Thameside Delivery Board is to ensure that local people are able to secure quality jobs arising from the redevelopment of the area. It has therefore set up Employ Kent Thameside, a local employment initiative.

Employ Kent Thameside provides an on-line job brokerage service linking local people to employers with local jobs. There is also a Job Shop at The Bridge which provides a face to face interface between those looking for construction work and contractors working across Kent Thameside – telephone 01322 228062. There are two Learning Shops, one at Bluewater and one at The Bridge, providing advice and guidance on finding local work – telephone 01322 312119.

Both Gravesend and Dartford have a Job Centre, providing advice on finding work and appropriate training coupled with financial advice to help you to return to work. Jobcentre Plus also has an on-line job brokerage service which links vacancies nationally.

If you are not sure what type of work you are looking for, you can ask for information advice and guidance with organisations such as Careers Management Kent & Medway and Connexions or access these services via Employ Kent Thameside, Job Centres or your community centre.

It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating.
