Looking for a Job?

Derbyshire County Council have a variety of jobs on offer at a new community care centre

Jobs at a new care centre will be on offer at two recruitment events being held next month.


DCC’s new Meadow View Community Care Centre in Darley Dale, near Matlock, is scheduled to open this summer and jobs will shortly be advertised so people are in post before the official opening.

The full and part time jobs will range from care workers, reception and catering staff to deputy unit managers, domestic and laundry staff. There is also an appeal for volunteers.

To fill the posts, two jobs fairs are being held at nearby Underhall Resource Centre in Chesterfield Road, Two Dales, in April, and people who are interested in working at the new care centre are being invited to go along and find out more. Continue Reading »

Snow falling

5am – there is a covering of snow in the Village, with more on higher ground. Buxton Weather Watch report there is over an inch in Buxton. More snow is possible over the next few hours but sunshine is forecast by this afternoon with today’s maximum temperatures getting up to around 8°C, so it is not likely to last.

However, take care on the roads this morning and if you meet any difficulties do let other readers know through the comments below.

(No road problems or school closures are currently (5.30am) reported on the County Council Snow Information page of their website.)
