Help for BIGGA members who find themselves out of work
It’s estimated that the coronavirus crisis has seen British employers plan more than 300,000 redundancies during June and July as the economic impact of the pandemic hit hard.
Losing your job is hard to deal with and when things are as uncertain as they are at the moment, it can be a very worrying time. If you’re one of the unfortunate ones and now find yourself looking for work, BIGGA is here to help.
We’ve launched an employment hub on our website where you can advertise that you are available to work. Golf clubs in your area that have positions available – whether short term or permanent – will be able to contact us and we’ll pass you their details.
This service is completely anonymous and free to BIGGA members. It’s our way of helping you get back on the right track.
Head to the Careers section of the BIGGA website and click the Available for Work tab to find out more.
