MORRISONS is set to welcome Crediton jobseekers to a recruitment event in the town on Sunday, April 19 and Monday, April 20, offering information about the 55 jobs which will be available at the new Crediton store it is due to open later this year, on or near August 17.

The company will be recruiting people for a wide variety of roles, from craft-skilled butcher to fresh food assistant and department managers to supervisors.

At Crediton's Boniface Centre, from 11.30am to 4.30pm on the Sunday, and from 11am to 7pm on the Monday, Morrisons recruitment team will be on hand to offer advice and information on the wide-variety of roles available.

Potential applicants will be able to chat to one of the team to gather more information about the company and pick up an application form.

Successful applicants will team-up with former Somerfield staff who join Morrisons on the handover of the store.

The company says all employees will be given thorough training before the doors open to customers.
