Wick Job Centre to relocate to Caithness House
WICK Job Centre is set to relocate to Caithness House from its current premises at Girnigoe Street.
Department Work and Pensions have announced the move as part of a £180 million cost cutting exercise that will see 13 job centres across Scotland close along with others across the UK.
It is not known what date the Centre will close at Girnigoe Street and relocate to Caithness House.
Damian Hinds, minster for employment said: "The way the world works has changed rapidly in the last 20 years and the welfare state needs to keep pace.
"As more people access their benefits through the internet many of our buildings are under-used.
"We are concentrating our resources on what we know best helps people into work.
"The changes we’ve announced today will help ensure that the way we deliver our services reflect the reality of today’s welfare system."
