MILITARY and non-military job seekers have received a financial boost from the Ministry of Defence.

The MOD has handed over a £35,000 grant to Carterton Job Club as part of its community covenant grant scheme.

It will help set up job search facilities in Carterton Town Hall, Alvescot Road, which people will be able to access every day.

The club, which also offers help with business start ups and CV writing, runs fortnightly from the town hall.
