CJS Professional: January 2020 - looks a little different!
CJS Professional has a slightly different look; we've matched the section headers to the new website styling. We're making sure to put all the jobs, regardless of pay scale, that offer significant training for new starters under the apprenticeships and interns heading. As it's a growing area we've added a freelance, self employed and contracts out to tender section.
The latest edition of CJS Professional is now online, read it in full here: https://www.countryside-jobs.com/professional/jan20
