Reading Job Fest

Reading Job Fest is BACK! Join us for Reading's largest jobs and skills event on Thursday 26 March 2026, from 10am - 1pm, in Reading Town Hall (Blagrave Street, RG1 1QH).

Organised by REDA, in partnership with Job Centre Plus, Reading Job Fest events take place throughout the year and are FREE for anyone looking for a full or part-time permanent job in and around the area. This drop-in event is a fantastic opportunity to engage with 40+ local employers to discuss job opportunities.

Connect with leading employers

At the last event, over 1,000 attendees came to meet top employers from a diverse range of industries. From defence and social care to retail, hospitality, construction, transport and education - this is your chance to meet the people shaping the future of work.

If you are on Universal Credit or Jobseekers Allowance, the Jobcentre may be able to support you with travel cost if this is a barrier. Please discuss this with your Work Coach and they will check if you are eligible.
