The East of England is made up of Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. With a population of around 2.3 million people, the East of England offers a wide range of job opportunities.
For example in its cities, the financial services, education and retail sectors are prominent. In more rural areas and along the beautiful coastline manufacturing, renewable energy and tourism provide many job opportunities. There are also many vacancies in the adult social care and logistics sectors across all three counties.
