There is a phased closure programme in place for all offices affected by the People and Locations Programme.

The closure date for Easterhouse Jobcentre is 9 February 2018.

All customers who attend the Jobcentre will receive a letter about the change within one month of the closure date. Work Coaches and Service delivery colleagues will also verbally advise customers about the closure as part of routine interviews and at all other attendance.

In addition, DWP have already notified partners and stakeholders in writing to confirm changes to estate across the city, including Easterhouse. To enhance wider communications, posters will be on display in as many venues and partner organisations in local communities as possible and DWP will work with local press, radio and other media sources aiming to cascade information about office changes as widely as possible. All activities referred to will be in addition to the work we will carry out internally to notify customers about changes in advance of closure dates.
