Eleven secure jobs at new Nando's restaurant, with our help

Eleven local people have secured jobs at Scunthorpe’s new Nando’s restaurant, thanks to a partnership between our Skills and Personal Development (SPD) team and the popular restaurant chain.

The opportunity attracted strong interest from local jobseekers, with 33 people attending a recruitment event at Ongo House just last month. All attendees were referred for consideration, with eleven securing roles.

Our Skills and Personal Development team works with hundreds of people each year to overcome barriers to employment, build confidence, develop skills, and access training, volunteering opportunities and job support.

They also provide links with local employers, helping people move into work and achieve their goals.

Pete Tedde, Employment Support and Life Coach Lead at Ongo, said: “We’re delighted that eleven people have secured jobs through this partnership. It shows the difference that can be made when organisations work together to create opportunities.

“Helping people to progress in life is at the heart of what we do, so it’s fantastic to see these candidates starting new careers but also improving their whole lives.

“I’d like to thank Nando’s for working with us. We’re looking forward to seeing the successful candidates thrive in their new roles.”

The team’s strong track record of supporting people into employment led Nando’s to partner with them during its recruitment campaign.

The successful candidates have now joined the team as the new restaurant opens this month.
