Muse Developments<\/a> partnered with South Tyneside Council<\/a> and contractor, GMI Construction Group<\/a> to deliver\u00a0a 12,000 sq ft new Jobcentre Plus for South Shields<\/h2>\n

The BREEAM<\/a> \u2018very good\u2019 building on Mile End Road will become home to 65 DWP employees, bringing over a range of services to help people of working age find work, claim benefits, as well as specialist support for those with disabilities.<\/p>\n

The relocation of DWP from Barrington Street to Mile End Road is one of the key pieces in the repurposing of South Shields town centre<\/a>, as it will free up land and bring forward future development.<\/p>\n

The ongoing regeneration of the town centre is being delivered through a close collaboration between Muse and South Tyneside Council.<\/p>\n

The wider scheme has already delivered two statement buildings in \u2018The Word\u2019 \u2013 the National Centre for the Written Word \u2013 and the \u00a321m South Shields interchange, which has brought together the town\u2019s Metro and bus station<\/a>, with improved accessibility for all.<\/p>\n

Over the course of the build, the team placed over \u00a32.1m with local materials providers and subcontractors respectively. Seven local residents also gained employment delivering the scheme, from local operatives via the government\u2019s kick start scheme<\/a>, to subcontractor apprentices and a trainee site manager.<\/p>\n

Supporting local customers and employers in South Shields<\/h3>\n

Andrew Fairest, project director at Muse Developments, said: \u201cCompleting the relocated Jobcentre safely, despite the challenges surrounding the pandemic, is testament to the hard work of our tenacious team and of course our partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cIts delivery is a key piece of the jigsaw, which will unlock the opportunity for us to bring forward future phases of the wider masterplan, driving further investment and opportunities to benefit the South Shields\u2019 community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking collaboratively and progressively with our partners at South Tyneside Council, we\u2019ve been able to deliver our unique brand of repurposed regeneration<\/a> at pace, delivering some truly statement and purposeful buildings to create a vibrant, inclusive and connected town that\u2019s packed full of amenities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steve Martin, a senior operations manager for the DWP, said: \u201cThis will be an exciting new opportunity to continue to support our local customers and employers in South Shields.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is great that we will be able to continue to deliver our support in the heart of the town centre and play our part in supporting the continuing expansion of local labour market developments alongside our partners.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lee Powell, divisional managing director at GMI Construction Group, added: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to have completed our most recent project for our long-standing client Muse.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the challenges faced due to the pandemic, our team have delivered a key part of South Shields\u2019 masterplan on behalf of partners.\u201d<\/p>\n
