Smyth’s currently employ over 350 employees across the region with 15-20 staff at the Walsall store, located at the top of the Town Centre at the Crown Wharf Retail Park. Employment Support Advisors from Steps to Work made contact with the Store Managers to discuss the needs of staffing and recruitment needs within the company. Through Steps to Work and Flexible New Deal, jobseekers from the programme attended interviews for temporary seasonal work. From this employer engagement, three customers have been given permanent contracts another step towards success for Walsall’s workless strategy.
