Tennessee Valley Federal Credit Union plans a hiring fair this Thursday  from 9 AM to 1 PM at the BX – Brainerd Baptist Church’s multi-use meeting facility, 4011 Austin St., in Chattanooga where the credit union will try to fill a wide range of jobs ranging from entry-level positions to branch managers.

The credit union, which recently swelled its total staff to more than 500 employees, operates 23 branches and plans to add new locations in Chatsworth and Dalton, Georgia, later this year. While many banks have been pruning their branches, Tennessee Valley is planning more locations after gaining regulatory approval last summer to expand its field of membership from 13 to 17 counties in the Chattanooga region, which includes Chattooga County.

The credit union is now able to serve anyone who lives, works, worships, volunteers or attends school in Chattooga, Gordon, Murray and Whitfield counties in Georgia.

Spokesman Jake Cash told the Chattanooga Times-Free Press this week, “The job fair is to help fill some of our normal turnover but also to help staff our continued growth”.
