The event, which is free to attend, will take place at Dudley Town Hall on Thursday, 10 April and is open to anyone looking for a job in the Black Country.
Local employers with live vacancies from across the Black Country and Birmingham will be on hand to chat to people looking for a role and to give advice on applications.
Employers from a variety of industries and sectors will be taking part, including Balfour Beatty, West Midlands Fire Service and West Bromwich Building Society to name a few.
The Individual Placement and Support (IPS) and Retention team at BCHFT provides support to individuals across the Black Country who aim to enter some form of paid employment or wish to change their job to better suit their needs.
The service is available to people who are open to secondary mental health services in the Black Country and the team is made up of vocational specialists who provide one to one support to help people achieve their goals. Vocational specialists can help clients identify jobs they want, search and apply for jobs and support individuals in their place of work.
The team regularly hold job fairs for Black Country job seekers, with their previous event in Wolverhampton seeing over 214 people attend as well as showcasing over 46 organisations who had open and local vacancies.
The event takes place from 10.30am to 1pm and is open to both the general public and IPS clients.
