job centres

Unemployment assistance locations

Job centres are government offices where unemployed people can search for work, receive career guidance, and access unemployment benefits.

The term is primarily British; Americans say employment office or unemployment office.

In the UK, Jobcentre Plus handles both job placement and benefits administration.
