A new jobs board has been created with the aim of getting local people into local jobs and promoting Croydon as a great place to work.
LoveCroydonJobs.com is dedicated to creating and promoting pathways into work for local people, while raising their aspirations and improving employability skills. The aim is to better connect Croydon employers with work-ready candidates by providing relevant employability advice and guidance – both online and face-to-face.
As a special offer to mark its launch, all organisations in the borough are being invited to post their vacancies on the site free of charge between now and the end of 2015 by using the promo code CROLAUNCH2015.

Rosanna Farrar of LoveCroydonJobs.com, a familiar face in Croydon having worked for many years in community-focused roles with Allianz Global Assistance and White Label Creative, believes the addition of Croydon to the LoveLocalJobs.com portfolio, which already runs award-winning regional job platforms across Sussex and Surrey, is great news for the town.
“We know from our experience elsewhere that if Croydon’s business community gets behind LoveCroydonJobs.com they will reap the rewards,” she said.
“By working together, this site can make a real difference. We know how difficult it is for businesses to find the right people for the right roles so we are urging as many organisations as possible to use the site, take advantage of the free offer and help us raise the profile of Croydon as a career destination and improve the caliber of Croydon’s workforce.”
LoveCroydonJobs.com has been launched with the support of six founding partners: American Express, Croydon Business Venture, Heart FM, Liverpool Victoria LV=, the London Borough of Croydon and White Label Creative.
Rosanna added: “We are particularly passionate about inspiring young people about the world of work and educating them about all of the opportunities available to them in their local area, helping to bridge the gap between education and employment.
“As well as our award winning careers advice, info and guidance sites (for example BEACH down in Brighton), we run ground-breaking events, as part of our Be the Change Programme, which is designed to bring together local school students and corporate mentors from local companies to help raise aspirations, boost confidence and deal with the barriers to success that young people face on a day to day basis, at the same time as strengthening participating businesses’ employer brand and in turn their talent pipeline.”
To take advantage of the special offer to post vacancies free of charge between now and the end of 2015, just visit LoveCroydonJobs.com, register as a recruiter (by selecting ‘post a job’), upload your vacancy and enter the promo code CROLAUNCH2015.
