Jobcentres: West Bromwich

Answer

West Bromwich Jobcentre sits in the West Bromwich East constituency. We currently have 21 computer terminals available for customers to use within West Bromwich Jobcentre to search Universal Jobmatch and to apply for universal credit.

The 21 computers also allow the Work Coaches to support customers who have limited knowledge of how to use a computer properly, particularly searching for jobs through the daily Job Clubs or one to one support.

We offer daily Job Clubs to all age groups, matching customers to vacancies, Apprenticeships and Traineeships and a triage service where employers are on site offering an immediate opportunity for customers to be seen by a variety of employers on the day.

Vulnerable customers are also given one to one support when either making new claims or again searching for jobs.

We work with a number of partner organisations across the Borough and within the West Bromwich East constituency, such as Sandwell Women’s Enterprise Development Agency who have 11 computers offering CV and Job search support to unemployed customers / constituents.

West Bromwich Library has 44 computers for constituent use.

Sandwell College have in excess of 260 main terminals and 60 laptops, offering on site or virtual learning from home for all unemployed people and both full and part time students.
