Full list of DWP job centre closures as two Greater Manchester sites to shut

Over the coming months, the Department for Work and Pensions will shut down 36 Job Centres, including two in Greater Manchester.

The sites being closed were originally established to ensure social distance measures were observed during the Covid-19 pandemic as "temporary additions". The closures will not affect the level of service provided to claimants or impact the availability of face-to-face appointments, according to the DWP.

It is understood that no staff will be made redundant as a result of the closures and will instead be moved to work at other Jobcentres nearby their previous locations. Currently, the DWP has over 600 permanent Jobcentres across the country, the Mirror reports.In a statement, a DWP spokesman said: "We no longer need the temporary space we acquired during the pandemic to accommodate social distancing.

"Customers will return to being served by their established Jobcentre and there will be no reduction in the number of Work Coaches serving customers as a result."Full list of Job Centre sites to close
