| | | GOODBYE TO THE WORKERS REGISTRATION SCHEME 1st
May marks the 7th anniversary of a number of countries joining the
European Union. Seven years marks the longest duration that an EU
Member State can impose “transitional arrangements” on nationals of new
accession states. When eight central and eastern European states
joined the EU in 2004, the UK opened up its labour market to the (A8)
accession state nationals, but only on the condition that they
registered with the Workers Registration Scheme (WRS).
From
1st May those transitional arrangements will be lifted for workers from
Estonia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia
and Slovenia and they will have the same access to the labour market as
other EU nationals, apart from those from Bulgaria and Romania.
The latter joined in 2007 and were subject to even more restrictive
transitional arrangements with access to very few types of work.
It is likely that they will have to wait until January 2014 for those
restrictions to be lifted. |

Introduction
Dorset
is a delightful place to live. It has a mixed economy with tourism and
rural enterprises playing a major role.
Dorset
Race Equality Council's new Jobsearch is here to help you find work. We
want everyone to live free from negative discrimination so we are ready
to help and advise you if this should arise. Dorset is generally a very
welcoming place. Click here to
meet a BME individual who has been successful in Dorset's job market.
Nonetheless, if you ever feel that your
career opportunities are being blighted by discrimination phone 01202
553003 (email address is at the foot of this page).
This is just the beginning of even greater things to come. This service
will never rest in its quest for job  opportunities.
As fresh
employment related intelligence builds this page will grow.
Below you
will find links to many of the major job providers in the County. Both
businesses and public sector providers that have one important thing in
common - a
serious commitment to diversity and equal opportunities.
To make your
search easier the links below take you directly
to the employment pages of the named provider. It is important that you
visit these websites regularly. Some offer a news feed (subscribe and
you will be alerted when new job opportunities come on line). In
some cases you
will be best advised to register with the website.
Bournemouth/Poole
in the East of the County represents by far the most populous part of
Dorset. However most employers cover the entire
County or
even the
entire UK. Flexibility is
key. Lots of individuals live in Dorset but commute as far as London.
One final point. If you need help we can advise or we will most likely
know someone who can. If you think that discrimination is
wrecking your
chances of employment get in touch. We can help. Phone 553003 or email enquiries@dorsetrec.org.uk
- you owe it to yourself and those people who will come along behind
you.
