The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services will host a Job Fair on Saturday, March 29, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at its Santa Clarita Office, located at 28490 Avenue Stanford in Santa Clarita. The job fair is open to the public. Job seekers interested in positions such as a children's social worker or in a supportive clerical role are invited to attend.

This weekend's job fair will feature a variety of opportunities at Children and Family Services, including clerical, nursing and social work positions. At the Job Fair, free educational workshops will touch on topics such as the job application process and "A Day in the Life of a Social Worker."

The department's three key goals of increased permanency, increased safety for children and reduced reliance on foster care are aimed at improving the lives of children and families in both the Santa Clarita area and greater Los Angeles County.
