Plymouth to get new, temporary Job Centre
It will be going in the former Staples building at Bretonside
Plymouth is getting a new, temporary Jobcentre, to help more people find work during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Government announced 80 of the sites will open across the country, with the former Staples building on Bretonside becoming one of them.
These new sites are in addition to the existing 639 across the country.
Minister for Employment, Mims Davies said:
"With more new, temporary Jobcentres in place in the heart of our communities, we can support even more people impacted by the pandemic to find work and progress into new roles.
"We’ve already boosted our DWP Work Coaches by 10,000 – and with these new local jobcentres to operate from, we can drive forward our Plan for Jobs, creating fresh opportunity for people all across the country."
The new temporary jobcentres will follow government guidelines in helping ensure staff can remain COVID secure.
