Job Prospects in Leicester

There's so much more to Leicester than Walkers Crisps, Leicester Football Club and Gary Lineker! The county town of Leicestershire has a population of about 300,000 and makes the most of its East Midlands location and transport links to the rest of the UK. The M1 to the west and the A1 to the east provide good north/south links while the M69 and M6 link up with Birmingham and the West. East Midlands airport is just a few minutes away giving links to UK cities and key European locations. A vibrant town centre makes this the shopping destination for many Midlanders and Leicester's two universities provide a knowledge-base that's attracting many employers.

Science and Technology

The most visible face of Leicester's technological side is the National Space Centre - a visitor attraction that attracts thousands of tourists each year. So it's not too surprising that the East Midlands Development Agency decided to site a science park there. One of the first to move in will be technology company Zeeko which already has an office at Coalville. The award-winning company is looking to almost double its workforce as it moves in to the new £2.2m factory. Watch out for other technology companies in the city that are making the most of the two universities based there.

Sport

The city boasts a number of other world-famous sports clubs and centres. Leicester City FC, the rugby union side Leicester Tigers (based at Welford Road Stadium), the county cricket club is based in the city and the Leicester Riders basketball team. In addition to this there are many sports venues offering roles in the sport and leisure industry ranging from centre managers, teaching sport, coaching and physiotherapy.

Retail

Highcross and the Haymarket Shopping Centres are the two flagship centres in the city but if you're looking for work in the retail sector consider the many busy shopping streets in the city or its suburbs. There are also numerous stores and distribution centres based on the edge of the city.
