The deadline for people to apply for one of 50 new roles at the Department for Work and Pensions Wellingborough office has been extended.

People now have until January 11th to apply for one of the administrative jobs that are up for grabs at the offices in West Villa Road.

A spokesman for the DWP told the Northamptonshire Telegraph: “These are new roles with a fixed-term contract until the end of March 2019. We have extended the deadline for applicants to January 11 to give people as much opportunity as possible to apply.”

The advert says they are looking for people who are a good listener, compassionate, customer focused and dedicated. So far more than 100 people have applied.
