Jobcentre Plus

This is about five minutes walk from Lewes Railway Station, walking away from the centre of town. Mostly flat walking too, which is useful for crutches or wheelchairs. Its not actually on Mountfield Road, its down a little access road, on the very open, very pleasant ground floor of a purpose built building.
Its a Jobcentre *Plus*, which means it has a full range of services, including phones, a computer search system for jobs, help with benefits., all sorts of things.
The help is patchy, to be honest. I was experimenting with the computer search facility, and looking for local jobs — the computer came up with one in Chatham in Kent. From Lewes, in East Sussex? Thats not really local. And one computer terminal was out of order.
There are a series of phones in semi-​private booths, which can be used to contact firms advertising job positions. That feels like you can be trusted, a pleasant feeling. I should say thats a normal feature of Jobcentre Plus.
What is local, of course, is the staff, and staff at this Jobcentre are very helpful, very friendly, and willing to interrupt what they’re doing to help you, which I’ve found without exception on a couple of visits.
