<p>We are aware that some claimants who are working may find it difficult to access
our Jobcentre Plus Service due to their work commitments. We have recently started
a pilot to test the demand for Jobcentre Plus Services on a Saturday. The pilot which
is aimed at working claimants, including those who are self-employed, offers a limited
range of services, usually via a pre-booked appointment.</p><p> </p><p>The pilot is
being delivered in seven different Jobcentre Plus Offices, spread across the country
and with different geographical and demographic features - for example large inner
city (such as Poplar) small rural offices such as Wick and Todmorden, and urban such
as Dudley, York.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, we are in the early stages of testing
the demand for appointments in the early evening, again to meet the needs of our employed
and self-employed claimants.</p>
