120 jobs at West Bromwich Tesco to locals
A multimillion pound supermarket development in West Bromwich is expected to ring-fence 120 of its 750 jobs for Sandwell residents, it has been revealed.
Sandwell Council's Director of Regeneration and Economy Nick Bubalo, has told town centre chiefs, Tesco bosses are expected to agree to employ at least 120 people from Sandwell to work at the £200 million development in the town.
He said at a meeting in December with Tesco bosses a timescale for recruitment was agreed, and a further meeting will be held on January 28.
Recruitment will go live on February 4, and a number of open days will be held by Job Centre plus and Think Local for prospective employees to attend in February.
These will be followed by interview skills sessions.
