Cllr Dilwyn Morgan, cabinet member for adult care, said: "With the challenges of recruiting general staff in the care field, I am pleased to hear about this event which is open to anyone who is keen to learn more about opportunities in the sector.

“Working in jobs of this type, and knowing that you are making a difference to the lives of vulnerable people in your own community, can be very rewarding so I would encourage anyone who is interested to call by.
