AN NHS careers and recruitment day was being held in East Lancashire today.

East Lancashire Primary Care Trust was holding the special job shop event at Accrington Job Centre, in Oak Street, from 10am to 4pm.

The job shop is one of hundreds being held all over England as part of an NHS careers campaign.

Detailed information to anyone interested in an immediate vacancy was being offered.

Advice was also being given to young people looking for a future career.

The job shop also hopes to attract people considering returning to work in the NHS, as well as people who may be deciding on a career change who would be able to bring their existing skills to the health service.

Local representatives from the East Lancashire PCT are on hand.
