Tottenham Hotspur will kick off a year of community engagement in the London Borough of Brent by holding a jobs fair for local people at Wembley Stadium on Thursday 27th July.

The club will play all its home matches at the national stadium during the 2017/18 football season. While at Wembley, the club aims to deliver a series of its community outreach programmes for residents across North-East London.

This includes an employment and skills initiative that has created over 1,000 new jobs in Tottenham linked to the club’s ongoing stadium regeneration scheme. As part of this, the club held a number of jobs fairs at its former White Hart Lane home, which saw thousands of local residents through the door to take advantage of employment opportunities.

Now, Tottenham Hotspur is bringing opportunities to residents in Brent, with major employers including Hilton Hotels, Boots and Costa expected to offer vacancies at the jobs fair, as well as a number of organisations from the construction industry.

The club itself will also be exhibiting the employability programmes it will be offering during its season at Wembley, including volunteering in its catering kiosks at the stadium on matchdays and a construction academy run in partnership with major property developer, Quintain.

Donna-Maria Cullen, executive director, Tottenham Hotspur, said: “The jobs fair is just the start of a wide programme of activity for the community of Brent during our season at Wembley.

“The club has been setting the benchmark in its delivery of employment opportunities and community development initiatives back home in Haringey and surrounding areas for a number of years now – we are delighted to be delivering this work in Brent.

“We hope to see many local residents attend the event at Wembley on 27th July and take advantage of the job vacancies that will be on offer, both through the club itself and our network of major employers.”
