Jobcentre

Jobcentres offer new way for you to go job-hunting. We have a wide choice of jobs.

So why not call in and see us?

There are three ways you can use your Jobcentre:

1. Self-service

The idea here is for you to take your time and look around.

You don't have to talk to anyone or fill in any forms. Just walk around and look at the job cards on display, and when you like, just make a note of the job number on the card, and show it to the secretary. She will then give you further details about the job. And if you're still interested, she'll telephone the employer and make an appointment for you on the spot.

2. Employment advisers

If you can't see the job you want in the self-service section, there's a second chance for you to find work. Talk to one of our employment advisers. They're experts who can help you to get the right job fast — here or any where else in the country. You'll find them friendly and helpful.

3. Occupational guidance

And if you're not sure what kind of job is best for you, our experts in the occupational guidance section can give you further advice on the type of career tor which you are suited.

It’s time for you to decide, come to your JOBCENTRE. Why not make use of these services? They're all free!
