EE/BT Redundancy Support
We are currently supporting EE/BT who are closing their Doxford Park site in October 2026 in Sunderland.
Approximately 191 experienced professionals in the Northeast are being made redundant and seeking new employment. In response, the local Redundancy Co-ordinators in DWP are convening a two-day Careers Fair this July to connect employees with selected employers.
We are seeking your support to attend that event which offers your organisation an opportunity to engage directly with a large volume of candidates, who are capable, adaptable, and equipped with many transferable skills.
Most of the staff work in customer service roles and many others within various business operations, from front-line telephony staff to operational management. The employees are skilled with handling the public through, service enquires, diagnostics, technical and financial aspects, within target-based environment.
Many candidates are seeking new jobs within alternative sectors and willing to train.

The Armed Forces Covenant: How Employers Can Get Involved
We are delighted to host a webinar for employers to find out more about the Armed Forces Covenant on the 28 July from 14:00 – 15:00.
The webinar, which will be presented by the Defence Relationship Management team will bring the Covenant to life, showing how organisations can demonstrate support for the armed forces community while also strengthening their workforce through access to talented reservists, service leavers, veterans and military families.

Find Your Thing Events in Trafford, Wythenshawe and Stockport
Colleagues in Greater Manchester are shaping a series of three interactive careers events to inspire 18–29 year olds as follows:
- Wythenshawe 14 July at Wythenshawe Forum Library
They are looking for employers and providers who can commit to attend all three events, if possible, to offer interactive demonstrations and embed ideas by trying something, not just hearing about job roles/training.
Activities do not need to be complex - simple, engaging, and hands‑on works best, such as:
- Try‑a‑skill activities eg, wire a plug, resuscitation dummy, etc
- Practical challenges or problem‑solving tasks
- Equipment or tools demonstrations
- VR, simulators, or scenario‑based activities
- Short, engaging tasters showing what a typical role might involve
By taking part, you will:
- Inspire young people and raise awareness of your sector
- Promote apprenticeships, entry‑level roles and pathways into work
- Engage people who may not thrive in classroom‑based learning
- Positively showcase your organisation’s commitment to the local community
Support on the day:
- Tables, power and space for activities (where required)
- Staff to manage flow and engagement
- Promotion of your organisation ahead of the event
If this is something which you can support, please register your interest by emailing:
Thanks for considering supporting our young people. We would love it if you could be involved.
