Finding jobs in Bristol

LizD_2

I'm moving to Bristol hopefully in the next few weeks (depending on house purchase) and need to find a new job in the area.

I don't know Bristol well, but can anyone recommend decent agencies for publishing or admin (not insurance or customer service) jobs? I'm looking at Bath too.

I keep checking Origin and future Publishing, but not much is coming up at the mo. DH is going to get me the local paper as well.

P.S. Will I need to learn 'Brizle'? ;-)

Orl reet, moy luvver!

Speeking krek bristle is not compulsory but understanding it sometimes is.

Agencies: try Randstad for admin, I used to get my temps through them, and they had one branch which specialised in charities / not for profit if that's of interest. The University and the local council both have particular agencies they use, perhaps in house.

Apparently there are 1000 jobs in this week's local paper! so that's definitely worth a look. Also try The Big Issue and Venue - probably Venue for publishing jobs, 'cos it seems a bit arty to me, either for 'social enterprise' if that's of interest.

And finally, you could try VOSCUR for jobs in the charity / voluntary sector. Sorry to be biased in that direction but that's my background!

Thanks for those, DH has got me a local paper so I'll peruse that when he gets home. I'll give the others a go to.

Lee, I'd forgotten about Gumtree, thanks for reminding me.
