Cherwell District Council and Jobcentre Plus are hosting a jobs and support fair in Banbury, Oxfordshire, on 18 March 2026 to help residents find work. The event will take place from 10am to 1pm at Unit 42 in the Castle Quay Shopping Centre, located near the council offices. It aims to provide direct access to job listings and career advice for anyone looking to take the next step in their career.
The fair will include representatives from several industries, such as shops, hotels, factories, and care providers. There will also be employment opportunities in education, health, driving, and building work. Attendees can speak directly with employers and find information on apprenticeships during the three-hour session.
Special support will be available for residents who may need specific help, such as those over the age of 50 or people with long-term health conditions. Councillor Lesley McLean, a spokesperson for the council, explained that the event will be full of useful information to help people find employment within the district.
While the council and Jobcentre Plus are running the event, it also helps the hundreds of local companies represented by the Banbury BID. This independent group works to keep the town centre successful and vibrant for its members through 2028.
