JOB-SEEKERS hoping to secure roles in a new East Cleveland superstore are being offered support in making their applications.

All applications for jobs in the new Asda supermarket set to open in Skelton must be made online.

And anyone wanting help with their submissions can now get access to training and support, thanks to Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council's Routes to Employment team and Job Centre Plus.

Councillor Mark Hannon, cabinet member for economic development, said: "Not everybody will be familiar with completing online application forms, so these support packages are extremely welcome.

"We hope as many people as possible take advantage of these sessions and wish them luck with their applications."

Anyone wanting help in setting up an e-mail account or completing online applications should telephone 01642-490409 to book a place on a training session.
