About Jobcentre Plus

If you are claiming benefits and looking for work, your Jobcentre Plus office or Jobcentre will help you to find the job that is right for you. Your personal adviser will also help you work out if you will be better off in work. They will look at your personal circumstances and how much benefit you may get.  They can help you arrange any training you need for the job you want.

If you're disabled, your Jobcentre Plus personal advisor will provide details of suitable vacancies and explain more about the range of programmes available to help you. This also applies to people with health conditions and carers who are looking for work through Jobcentre Plus.

If you’re already employed, specialist advisers can discuss your current employment situation with you.

If you're a lone parent, you can get information on financial help, childcare, training and finding a job. It will help you choose what's right for you and your children, both now and in the future. 

Perhaps you have an idea for a business but don't know where to start. Jobcentre Plus can give you general advice about how your benefits will be affected if you start to do any work for yourself, and the support available when you start.  Jobcentre Plus offers a number of services and programmes to help Jobseekers, unemployed people, particularly long-term unemployed people, people with disabilities and others who may need extra help in finding work.

There are a lot of opportunities available to you when you leave school or university, but the route to take isn't always obvious. Your Jobcentre Plus advisor can help to set you off in the right direction.
