Jobs Nelson

Nelson, located in Pendle borough, has begun a rejuvenation project focused on building the economy regionally and attracting finance from various businesses and sectors. The aim of the business strategy is to find the financial challenges the area faces and combat this by focusing on the strong points in Nelson that can lead to a higher number of vacancies and jobs for local residents in Nelson. The approach is also based around attracting financials and investment from new sectors, resulting in new training and job opportunities to enable those seeking employment to learn new skills and navigate their way into new job areas.

Businesses who are moving to the area and entrepreneurs starting new businesses in Nelson will have the benefit of support and guidance from the local government. CENTA, the Consortium of Enterprise Trusts was setup to enable small business owners and startups to take the plunge and get operational. There will also be new business bundles of support available based on getting started, accessing investment, accounts and finance help, and establishing your company – just to give a little insight on what kind of support businesses can access.

CENTA has been established to make sure that Nelson is in a position to support the decline in employment that followed the demise of the manufacturing industry. For now, the industries that have moved to the region in place of manufacturing are generally focused on the service and retail sectors, along with the high employment within the local council and public sector services.

Pendle Risk Retail is a regional retail space with a number of high street shops and within this area are a number of telecoms businesses too, bringing customer service and sales telephone job opportunities. At the same time, many people are drawn to the area because of the low cost of living and great commuter links.

Nelson is an easy place to get to with access from the M65 motorway. This runs through Preston, Blackburn, Burnley, and Accrington, along with the A56 route running through Nelson’s centre to Colne and Brierfield. There is also easy access to the Yorkshire Dales via the A692, and many great transport links nationwide.

With many great facilities and green spaces, as well as entertainment including theatre, arts, film, and music, getting a job in Nelson can be a terrific way to get some work life balance in your life while enjoying everything it has to offer both inside and outside.
