Jobcentre Plus in Somerset are introducing a Somerset jobs hour on twitter @JCPinSomerset , this will run every two weeks on a Thursday from 11am – 12noon, the first will be 6 August 2020.

To find out about jobs and opportunities follow @JCPinSomerset on twitter. You then can either join us live between 11am and 12  noon 6 August 2020 or search the content later on @JCPinSomerset or using the #somersetjobshour hashtag 

The Homefinder Somerset website has been upgraded. The website now automatically resizes if it is being used on a smartphone or tablet. This means that it will be far easier for people to register or view and bid for homes. 

Due to the restrictions in place due to the Coronavirus there are likely to be:

• Fewer homes advertised on Homefinder Somerset in the next few weeks.

• Delays in landlords being able to let homes.

• Fewer council staff available to process applications and respond to queries.

To help during this difficult time, please:

• Ensure that your email address is up to date. Councils and landlords will be using email and web messages rather than sending letters

• Regularly login to your Homefinder Somerset account to check for messages

• Use the online application form wherever possible. Paper application forms are less likely to be processed at this time.
• Check the websites of partner councils and landlords for further details. Please see the links on the Partners page
