More than 300 job opportunities will be on offer at the Coventry Jobs Fair on Friday 27 November, as employers across the city recruit against a backdrop of falling vacancies across the United Kingdom. The fair runs from 10am to 1pm at Coventry Building Society Arena and is free to attend, although places must be booked in advance.

Who will be there

Coventry Building Society, one of the city's largest employers, will attend as headline exhibitor, with its recruitment team on hand to talk through current vacancies and what a career with the organisation involves. Around 20 other leading companies have signed up, including Coventry City Council, Unison Coventry, WM Jobs and Coventry University, with more exhibitors expected to register before the day.

Roles on offer

Roles will range from entry level to senior management, and exhibitors will also offer advice on training, support services and career options. Jobs fairs at the Arena are held every three months and often attract as many as 700 jobseekers.

A cooling jobs market

The fair comes after UK job vacancies fell between July and September to their lowest level outside the pandemic since 2014, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics. The ONS put vacancies at 691,000 in July to September 2026, down 21,000 on the quarter.

How to attend

Entry is free, but tickets must be booked in advance through The Job Fairs website. The Arena is at Judds Lane in Coventry, and the fair is aimed at anyone looking for a first job, returning to work or ready for a step up.
