The Employment Guide To Careers In Dartford, Longfield, Bluewater, Sutton, Greenhithe

This link for our main Kent jobs page. In common with much of North Kent corridor, many of the local traditional industries (papermaking, cement, and pharmaceuticals) have closed down or are moving out of the area. However the flagship retail development at Bluewater (and the 28 million visits it attracts each year) has added much to the local economy. Other initiatives such as the redevelopment of the former GlaxoSmithKline site on Mill Pond Road are underwriting a lot of local jobs. These links for recruitment opportunities in Medway, Swale and Gravesham.

And the development of the Crossways Business Park is seen as an important long term economic catalyst for the whole region.

Dartford is something of a communication hub. It has an international railway station at Ebbsfleet; one of six railway stations in the borough. The Borough boats brilliant road links: the M25, M20, A2, A20, A225 and the A226 are all in easy reach.
