Pertemps matches Ukrainian families with jobs

Ukrainian families living on a ship docked in Edinburgh are being given a helping hand into work, thanks to new programme from Pertemps Network Group. The recruitment firm is working closely with Tesco in Livingston and Fedcap Scotland, a not-for-profit employability organisation, to find roles for the refugees. At a dedicated job fair, more than 400 Ukrainians attended, from 1,500 families living at the location. Around 30 individuals are now working in a variety of roles at the Tesco distribution centre and efforts are ongoing to help more find work.

Among those who have taken up a role at Tesco is 31-year-old Dymtro Prysziazhniuk (left and pictured centre, above right), who previously worked in the health sector in Ukraine. He said: “This job is a lifeline. I am saving money to rent and then buy my own house.”
