Other job advertisements are targeted at teachers who are needed in various schools across the region, and fast-food-giant Red Rooster is also looking for an assistant restaurant manager in Hervey Bay.

Fraser Coast Mayor George Seymour noted many of the current vacancies on Fraser Coast Jobs Hub were in the hospitality and health industries.

Fraser Coast Mayor George Seymour said there were plenty of job vacancies in the hospitality and health industries.

“There’s quite a range of jobs in different fields at the moment going, whether it’s tourism or community services,” Mr Seymour said.

“The Fraser Coast Jobs Hub is about bringing all those jobs together so people can see what’s available and to help employers to fill those positions.”

Having spoken with a number of local employers, Mr Seymour said many of them were having trouble filling positions.

He also said one of the “peculiarities” was having people who were unemployed, yet also having so many employers who were needing to reduce hours as they were struggling to fill positions.

On Tuesday, November 8, about 100 jobs were on offer in both the Hervey Bay and Maryborough areas.

Some of the positions even extend to Childers and Bundaberg.

Mr Seymour said a key role for government going forward was to try and train people in positions where there was demand.

“I really encourage employers to advertise on the Fraser Coast Jobs Hub,” he said.
