Jobs For The Girls!
Barnstaple based recruitment agency 'Concept Staffing' has acknowledged the importance of the role Temporary workers provide to local companies in the area.

A new report published by the Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Committee "Jobs for the Girls" highlights how temporary work can provide the stepping stone to women wanting to get back into the jobs market and further their careers.
Neil Sharp -Dent, Industrial Consultant at the Barnstaple branch said " in many cases there is a role for temporary work to provide the ideal starting point for women either entering the job market for the first time, who are returning or who want to find a new role which fits in with their lifestyle".
Bob Barltrop , Concept's Operations Director said "Taking on temporary assignments is a great way for anyone, irrespective of gender, to familiarise themselves with the world of work. But for women, it does provide an excellent opportunity not only to choose roles which are compatible with their other commitments, but allow them to develop their own skills-base through experiencing a variety of different work places.
