Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will publish information on the geographical area covered by each Jobcentre Plus office.

There is currently a search facility to help find the local Jobcentre Plus Office which serves a customer’s and partner’s specific postcode. This is available at Jobcentre Plus Local Office Search - Gov UK . The data behind the tool is regularly reviewed and maintained to remain up to date.

Department for Work & Pensions use an internal system holding postcodes covered by each Jobcentre, to allow staff to signpost customer queries and work tasks to the correct owning office. However, an individual claimant may elect to use a different jobcentre if that is more convenient for them.
