could help you build a winning team this year Published on12 January 2026
Local employers have the opportunity to connect with prospective employees at the upcoming Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council’s Labour Market Partnership job fair.
The in-person recruitment event takes place on Thursday 26th February from 10.30am until 2.30pm at Lagan Valley LeisurePlex in Lisburn. It will help local employers fill vacancies faster and find better quality candidates to choose from.
Councillor Claire Kemp, Regeneration and Growth Chair, is encouraging local businesses to get involved: “I urge recruiters across all sectors to sign up to the job fair and meet directly with candidates looking for their next career move. It’s a valuable opportunity to discover emerging talent, promote your organisation as a workplace, and contribute to the continued growth of our economy.
“This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting local businesses, addressing recruitment needs, and helping people access meaningful employment. Job hunters should also save the date and come along. They can hear firsthand about competitive salaries, excellent benefits, opportunities for promotion and extensive learning and development programmes.”
The job fair offers exhibiting employers from across all sectors to showcase their current vacancies. Previous employers have included hospitality, IT, customer service, public services, construction and transport.
The job fair is supported by the Department for Communities, which also funds Labour Market Partnerships. These are to create targeted employment action plans for council areas, allowing collaboration at both local and regional levels to support people towards and into work.
A full list of exhibitors will be made available online before the event.
