Jobcentres: Sheffield
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what additional outreach work his Department is undertaking to help claimants as a result of the closure of Eastern Avenue Job Centre in Sheffield.
- Answer
-
We will be reintroducing a Jobcentre outreach service at both Manor Library and Manor and Castle Development Trust in Sheffield. Work coaches will be based in Manor Library each Wednesday and Manor and Castle Development Trust each Tuesday. Staff from Cavendish Court Jobcentre have been identified for these roles and once each location has completed the necessary risk assessments we will agree a start date for the service. Customers will be notified of the services that will be available, which will include jobsfairs as well as benefits advice.
In addition, Sheffield City Council have agreed funding for a construction hub on the Manor to support regeneration. The Department is working with stakeholders to introduce a facility to train local people in construction with the first opportunity starting in February.
