Norfolk Jobs & Opportunities in 2012

Despite the continuing economic gloom, a number of companies have announced plans to enter a recruitment drive in 2012, opening up dozens of Norfolk job opportunities. We have found a number of good news stories about Norfolk jobs:

As Norfolk’s ageing population grows, opportunities for elderly care businesses to expand will continue with a Norfolk home care company aiming to recruit 40 staff this year. Government directives support a push towards more home care services rather than the use of residential care, and off the back of this opportunities will continue to arise for home care jobs. A job in the care industry can be supported by good levels of training provision and opportunities for career progression.

Norfolk is also seeing a significant demand for jobseekers keen to work in the expanding renewable energy sector. One of the UK’s largest wind farms is close to completion off the North Norfolk coast and there will be a switch from the current construction jobs to the need for ongoing maintenance staff, alongside the availability of onshore and offshore operations jobs.
