SUPERMARKET bosses have launched a recruitment drive for managers for stores in East London.

Some 16 Sainsbury's branches are taking part in the drive with 50 jobs going at Whitechapel, Dalston, Walthamstow and other branches.

The one-day 'jobs' fair is to find people from all walks of life with managerial experience at several levels, including team leaders, and department heads and deputy managers.

It is being held at the Barkingside store in Tanners Lane on November 17, from 8am to 8pm.

The recruitment drive comes after the company announced 20,000 new seasonal jobs across the country to meet demand over Christmas and New Year. At least 1,000 jobs could become permanent.
