New Opportunities

BENIDORM city council has announced it will be able to hire 8 unemployed people with disabilities for a duration of nine months.

In May, the town hall requested a grant from the Valencian Employment and Training Service, and has now been awarded a subsidy of €143,677.83 to pay for the workers' contracts.

The councillor for employment, Mónica Gómez, said that her department has, among its objectives, “to promote the employment of disadvantaged groups, as well as to contribute to the access of unemployed people to the labour market”.

In accordance with the requirements, a person with a disability is understood to be that person affected by a recognised degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%.

The rules also establish that the contracts are full time and must have a duration of at least nine months. The contracts are scheduled to start on Friday, September 1 and end on May 31, 2024.
