Five seminars in Wanaka and Cromwell attracted around 140 people interested in working at Aspiring Enliven Care Centre when it opens in October this year.
Enliven Director Maurice Burrowes said he was delighted with the interest, and early job applications indicated there were many Wanaka people looking for permanent positions in the town.
Specific job applications are now open and interviewing starts mid July.
