The event brings together employers, training providers and support organisations, providing members of the Armed Forces Community with the opportunity to explore new career opportunities, discover available vacancies, find out about training and qualifications, and make valuable connections with organisations who recognise the skills and experience gained through military service.

The event is open to:

• Serving Personnel and Service Leavers
• Veterans and Reservists
• Military spouses and partners
• Members of the wider Armed Forces Community

An additional opportunity on the day

Ahead of the main Careers Fair, we are also offering a FREE CV & Interview Skills Workshop, delivered in association with Adler & Allan.

Taking place from 09:00–11:00hrs at Catterick Leisure Centre, the optional workshop will cover CV writing, applying for jobs and interview preparation.

This is an additional opportunity for anyone who would like some practical guidance before meeting employers at the Careers Fair.

We would really appreciate your support in sharing the attached event poster with your networks, members, colleagues or anyone who may benefit from attending.

Whether through your website, social media channels, newsletters or community networks, any support in helping us reach the local Armed Forces Community would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support. We hope to welcome as many people as possible on the day.

Kind Regards,

Dear Resident,

MARKET PLACE, RICHMOND – RELAYING OF COBBLES

North Yorkshire Council would like to inform you that essential cobble relaying works will be carried out in the Market Place, Richmond.

The works are currently scheduled to begin on Monday 7 September 2026 and are expected to last for approximately 12 weeks. Working hours will be 7:30am to 4:00pm, Monday to Friday.

An enclosed plan shows the work areas:

• Red areas indicate parking bays that will be temporarily suspended.
• Thick red lines indicate the boundary of the contractor's working compound.

To minimise disruption and retain as much parking as possible, the works will be carried out in two phases:

Phase 1: Works will begin on the lower side of the Market Place and are expected to take approximately 6 weeks to complete.

Phase 2: The second phase will cover the upper end of the Market Place. This phase will begin once Phase 1 is complete and is expected to take approximately 6 weeks.

Please note, this work is part of an extensive programme and therefore, some adjustment to this start date or the duration of the works may be necessary should unforeseen circumstances such as significant weather events or emergencies on the highway network arise.

Advance warning signage advising of the works will be installed on site shortly. During each phase:

• Vehicle access through the active work area will not be possible.
• Some parking and loading bays will be suspended for the duration of the works. Temporary loading areas will be provided where practicable.
• On site personnel will be available to assist with access arrangements for businesses and properties within the works area.
• Pedestrian access to all properties and businesses will be maintained at all times.

To ensure the delivery of these works we request your assistance in the following ways:

• Please contact the Customer Service Centre on 0300 131 2 131, to identify any special access needs you may have prior to work commencing.
• Please co-operate and comply with any instructions issued by the traffic management operatives and take extra care whilst within the works area.

Pension Credit

Updated figures from DWP reflect that £22million Pension Credit is still eligible and not claimed across North

Yorkshire. Yes - £22,000,000! 

North Yorkshire Council are now live with the pension credit campaign, if customers ring the Customer Service

number and say "Pension Credit" they will get through to an advisor who will transfer the call to the appropriate

Income Maximisation team, and they will check for eligibility and assist with the claim. The customer service

number is 0300 131 2131.

 The team will also be able to look into other benefits residents are entitled to and might not be receiving.

 Let’s get some of that £22million into our North Yorkshire residents’ pockets.
