Other ways to find job vacancies in Cornwall

Use social media

Many employers advertise vacancies on social media, sometimes before they appear on job boards.

Follow local businesses, recruitment agencies and sector-specific organisations on platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn and X. Joining local job and careers groups can also help you discover new opportunities and grow your professional network. Find out more about using social media for job hunting.

Register with recruitment agencies

Recruitment agencies work with employers to fill temporary, permanent and flexible vacancies across a range of sectors.

Registering with an agency can help you access opportunities that may not be advertised elsewhere and receive support with your job search.

Explore health and care careers

Health and care offer a wide range of career opportunities, from direct care roles to administration, digital, estates and support services.

Visit the NHS Health Careers website to explore roles, career pathways and training opportunities for all ages and career stages.

If you're interested in working in adult social care, Proud to Care Cornwall advertises a range of permanent, temporary and flexible vacancies across Cornwall.

Use your network

Friends, family and former colleagues can be valuable sources of job leads and recommendations.

Let people know you're looking for work and the type of role you're interested in. You may hear about opportunities before they're advertised.

Contact employers directly

If there's an organisation you'd like to work for, consider contacting them even if they aren't currently advertising vacancies.

Sending a tailored CV and cover letter, or making an enquiry about future opportunities, can demonstrate enthusiasm and initiative.
