A BRITISH supermarket chain is set to open in Valencia city in the New Year and a local job agency has taken on four supervisors and 28 sales assistants.
The council-run recruitment centre València Activa has struck an agreement with Dealz, which already has a small number of stores in the south of the region, including Benidorm.
Training and career progression are included in the roles, which València Activa will coordinate for the 32 future employees.
Dealz is a budget chain along the same lines as Poundland, although with varying prices, unlike the latter.
Once it began advertising vacancies, València Activa received 963 applications for the 32 jobs.
At present, over 20,000 people are listed on the agency’s books.
The centre has contacts with 210 local, national and multi-national companies based in the city, including Hugo Boss, Primark and the Vidal supermarket chain.
