This site has no affiliation with the job centre and instead offers access to categorised job searches that will put you one step ahead of your competition. But if you arrived on this page looking for the official government website then follow the link below:

The job centre plus has offices all over the country and these are one of many places to find jobs using their job terminals which list up to the minute vacancies across the country. Not only that but this is where you come to collect your jobseekers allowance each week to support you while you are out of work.

When you go into your local jobcentreplus office you can also get a great deal of careers advice to help you if you either don't know what role you would be suitable for or if you want to retrain and start work in a new job sector. They have advisers who use aptitude testing and other forms of analysis to give you a better idea of what roles might suit someone with your experience, training and drive.

Alternatively, if the job centre plus doesn't have as much information on different careers as you'd like, we have compiled a list of job profiles which tell you all about different careers and we add new ones each week.

To help you find your local centre we are currently looking to source the addresses of all the offices in the UK along with a phone number for each one so you can phone them up first to arrange to be seen by one of their career counsellors.

However, if you are job seeking in Northern Ireland then the first place to look is at the Job Centre Online who can help you find a role suited to your skills and goals.

With 2009 set to be a year of further job losses and rising unemployment it is going to mean a far more competitive landscape for those vacancies which still exist. All candidates will have to make sure their CVs are as tight and compelling as possible while brushing up on your interview technqiues is crucial. Both of these things are issues that an advisor at the job centre could help you with as they are trained to maximise your job searching efforts.

Alternatively you can browse this site to find much more help for finding the perfect job for you and your situation. Maybe you are now looking for any flexible work you can get your hands on as a stop gap to a longer term career move or you want to enter a new industry, whatever your situation we do our best to advise you and are happy to answer and questions along the way.

If you are currently in a job but fear you may soon be facing redundancy as the UK economy slides deeper into recession, it is important to know your statutory rights and again it is wise to seek the counsel of your local government job office who can aid you through difficult times.
