Jobs in Barnsley, Doncaster and South Yorkshire
 

There have been massive changes in employment in South Yorkshire as the steel industry has declined, followed by the coal industry. The focus now is on new industries such as the cultural and creative industries (e.g. film-making) and high technology manufacturing. Other industries that are important employers in South Yorkshire are engineering, including the manufacture of passenger and goods trains, food and drink manufacturing, business and financial services.

Health, transport and public services organisations (e.g. the police, public transport and education) have had plenty of vacancies - for example for bus and coach drivers and industrial trainers. The retail and distribution industry and the construction industry have also had trouble recruiting new staff so there are opportunities for people with the right skills.

South Yorkshire employers have predicted that this will continue so that they expect more vacancies that they can fill for sales staff, crafts and trades people, technical and professional staff (e.g. managers, supervisors, IT specialists).
