AN OPEN day to help people who have been unable to work because of ill health or disability is to be held in Swindon.

It will be hosted by Jobcentre Plus and is aimed at anyone who is considering returning to work after time out due to sickness or disability.

The event will take place on Wednesday at the Thistle Hotel in Fleming Way from 10am until 3pm.

Special advisors will be on hand to offer advice and guidance on a broad range of specialist services tailored to the needs of disabled job seekers.

Through close links to local employers they can help people find a job that will match their abilities and needs.

Sign language interpreters will also be available at the event.

Gary Cockram, marketing manager for Wiltshire's JobCentre Plus, said: "Many people who have a disability or health problem would like to return to work but are unsure of where to start.

"They may be unaware of the huge amount of support that is available to help them find and keep suitable employment."

Anyone interested in attending the event and wanting more information can call 01249 425938.
