From hotels to cafes, office spaces to cultural venues – the hard work that Streatham’s businesses put in year on year helps to creates thousands of new jobs in our borough. We want to help businesses to fill the vacancies they create and make sure that our residents have the chance to develop a rewarding career on their doorstep.
Lambeth residents have a lot to offer, and the benefits of recruiting local people are well established. These include:
- Wages spent back into the local economy
- Staff who are knowledgeable about the area, and are connected to the customer base
- Employees who can reliably commute in, and do so via environmentally friendly means such as walking and cycling
Opportunity Lambeth has an online jobs board for advertising vacancies within the borough, and a team of employment advisors who can point our residents in the direction of appropriate opportunities. We also have links with local Jobcentres and other referral partners such as colleges so that we can share employment opportunities even more widely.
If you would like to advertise a vacancy, learn more about Opportunity Lambeth, or have any questions then please don’t hesitate to contact Tom on tharringtonroberts@lambeth.gov.uk or 07720142987.
