Portadown Jobs & Benefits office
All Jobs & Benefits offices are now open for business on an appointment basis. Only those with a pre-booked appointment will be admitted to the office. You will be asked to observe social distancing, to use hand sanitiser and to wear a face covering.
It’s important you turn up if asked, as failure to do so may affect your payments.
