‘Open to Work’

We’re creating a dedicated space for those who are open to work—offering the chance to connect with recruiters, share experiences, and meet others in a similar position.

Creating Space for Career Conversations and Support

Our ‘Open to Work’ event was first launched during Mental Health Awareness Week as a way to support those navigating career transitions, and after an overwhelmingly positive response, we’re excited to bring it back. This event is designed to create a supportive, inclusive space where people who are open to new opportunities can connect with recruiters, share their experiences, and meet others in a similar position. Whether you’re actively job hunting or just exploring what’s next, it’s a relaxed environment to build genuine connections and feel part of a wider community.

Why attend?

If you’re exploring new opportunities, Open to Work is a chance to connect with recruiters, meet others in a similar position, and have real conversations in a relaxed setting. No pressure, just support, useful advice, and a chance to feel part of a community.
