Jobcentres: Scotland Asked by: Kirsty Blackman (Scottish National Party - Aberdeen North) Thursday 3rd April 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, which jobcentres in Scotland have seen work coach staffing numbers reduced (a) since 2018-19 and (b) in the year for which the most recent data is available. Answered by Alison McGovern - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) Work Coach staffing numbers for 2018-19 are unavailable. We have therefore compared Work Coach staffing numbers between March 2020 and the latest position (February 2025). The following Jobcentres in Scotland have seen reductions in Work Coach levels between the two periods of March 2020 and February 2025: Airdrie Stirling Street Forfar Service Road Forres Tytler Street Fraserburgh South Harbour Road Glasgow Radnor House Greenock Dalrymple Street Leven Waggon Road Paisley High Street The following Jobcentres in Scotland have seen reductions in Work Coach levels between the two periods of March 2024 and February 2025: Annan Murray Street Ayr Wallacetoun House Dumfries Irish Street Forfar Service Road Fraserburgh South Harbour Road Glasgow Radnor House Leven Waggon Road Paisley High Street Data is correct as at the end of February 2025. Work Coach staffing levels include staff working on Universal Credit and Legacy Benefits. Work Coach staffing levels do not include Work Coach Team Leaders and Disability Employment Advisers. The number of Work Coaches employed in these Jobcentres is unpublished management information, collected and intended for internal departmental use and has not been quality assured to National Statistics or Official Statistics publication standard. As the Department holds the information, we have released it. It is important to note that, during the Covid-19 Pandemic (20/21), the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) rapidly expanded Jobcentre capacity by opening temporary Jobcentres. This was part of the Rapid Estate Expansion Programme (REEP). The vast majority of REEP sites are no longer in use.
