People seeking work can find out about jobs across Scotland using a new online service which has just been launched.
Skills Development Scotland (SDS) has introduced the My World of Work jobs hub to include information on national vacancies.
The plan is to connect people looking for work with employers desperately in need of staff in the response to COVID-19.
Jobs available across the country include those in healthcare, food, grocery retail, social care, childcare, delivery and distribution, food manufacturing and production.
The website can be found at www.myworldofwork.co.uk/jobhub
Employers can promote their vacancies free of charge while users can access support, including CV tools, skills builders and other career information and advice.
The hub has been developed between SDS and industry bodies.
Gordon McGuinness, of SDS, said it had worked rapidly to develop the hub in response to industry partners highlighting skills gaps.
‘It gives people immediate access to job vacancies that employers need filled right now,’ he said.
Jamie Hepburn, minister for business, added: ‘This is a valuable response to unexpected job losses in some industries, alongside the need to realign workers to other industries that are facing high and immediate recruitment surges.’
Lucy Husband, for Scotland Food and Drink, said: ‘Having a resource like the job hub means we can help match those who find themselves suddenly and unexpectedly out of work with those crying out for immediate, temporary people. Ultimately, it will help keep our industry providing the food and drink consumers need.’
