Abstract
Wholesaler JJ Foodservice has announced that it is working with local councils to offer support to Ukrainian refugees and families who may be arriving in the UK over the coming months.

According to BBC News the UK could take in as many as 200,000 Ukrainian refugees who have fled the country following the invasion of Russia. JJ Foodservice is highlighting a range of positions to local councils across its 11 branches.

Joanna Florczak, human resources manager for JJ Foodservice, said: “As a nationwide foodservice company – our business never sleeps, and we are always looking for more people to join our team. We understand that candidates from overseas may have limited UK-accredited qualifications and might need help with re-training.

“We aspire to be an inclusive, refugee friendly business, which means our goal is to make every member of the JJ team feel accepted, comfortable, and able to share their ideas regardless of where they have come from or their personal circumstances."

The group has just co-signed a petition from Refugee Action to lift the ban that is stopping asylum seekers from being allowed to work.

The food business can offer full-time and part-time work, in addition to long-term career prospects and progression opportunities. See the latest careers here: https://go.jjfoodservice.com/CareersforUkraine.
