About The Medway Towns

You can't talk about employment in the Medway towns without thinking about the Thames Gateway regeneration project. Medway's share of the investment is expected to reach £1 billion by 2020. It's also planned to increase the population of Medway to around 280,000 during this time. Directly and indirectly many employment opportunities are going to be connected to regeneration projects like: Medway Waterfront, Gillingham Town Centre Development, Rochester Riverside, Chatham Town Centre And Waterfront, Strood Riverside, Temple Waterfront and the Medway Gate.

Employment In The Area

The popular view is that Medway is a riverside conurbation comprising; Strood, Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham and Rainham. But much of the area under the control of the Medway Unitary Authority is in fact rural in nature. Employment opportunities in places like: Allhallows, Cliffe, Cooling, Cuxton, Frindsbury, Halling, High Halstow, Hoo, Isle of Grain, St Mary and Stoke may be very different to those in the urban areas.From an employment point of view the education sector is growing in importance, in recent years Medway has seen the development of the Universities at Medway concept. A project bringing together: the University of Greenwich, the University of Kent and Christ Church University on a unified site. These are not exhaustive listings and local employers are welcome to submit their details to us via email.
