Situated on the south coast of Hampshire, Gosport is a peninsula based town that offers employment to over 44, 000 people. The town is neighboured by Portsmouth and Fareham, benefiting from the substantial number of tourists that these port-side settlements attract. Retail, finance and manufacturing are also strong areas of employment locally and recruitment agencies in Gosport will aim to place candidates into these sectors.
Although unemployment in Gosport is slightly greater than the South East average, it falls below that of the rest of the UK. This is largely supported by recruitment agencies who aim to place local candidates into the 2000+ businesses that are based in the town. Salaries are lower than both the regional and national average.
Due to its location by the coast, tourism places a key role in local employment. Combined with the leisure sector, tourism brings nearly £80 million and 2500 jobs to Gosport. Agencies will aim to offer staffing solutions to popular attractions and some of the most well renowned in the town include the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, Explosion! The Museum of Naval Firepower and Fort Brockhurst. The Gosport Ferry provides a further boost to the tourism sector, connecting the town to the City of Portsmouth.
Its position by the harbour means that Gosport has developed a strong presence within the marine / naval fields, and this in turn supports associated technical sectors. Manufacturing for instance, employs more than 13% of the local labour market and Gosport recruiters may list firms such as STS Defence, HC Coils Ltd and Tecsew Ltd amongst their clients.
Additionally, nearly a third of the working population of Gosport work within the public sector. This includes health and education organisations amongst others, with some of the most prominent employers including the Gosport War Memorial Hospital and St Vincent College.
As a result of the impact that tourism has on the local job market, recruitment agencies in Gosport will see demand vary according to seasonality. This mainly affects recruitment within sectors such as hospitality, food & drink and leisure. The need for top health staff is largely constant however and there are a number of specialist healthcare agencies that serve the town and surrounding borough. Commercial and industrial vacancies are also well catered for, however these will most likely be addressed by multi-sector firms.
