Job Centre: Darwen

Darwen Job Centre

By Train

Darwen railway station is on the Ribble Valley line, with regular connections to Clitheroe and into Manchester and Bolton.

If you're a jobseeker or have an appointment regarding a back to work scheme or to sign on or up for benefits then if arriving into the town by train, the local job centre is around a 10-minute walk away.

To get there, leave the station and bear right at the end of the approach road. This will bring you onto Robin Bank Road. Go left and then turn onto Union Street, passing the police station on your left. After a couple of minutes you will come Duckworth Street. Cross over here, bear right and then take the first left, which will be Police Street. Walk down here and then at the end turn left onto Green Street. After just a few moments you will see the job centre in Darwen.

By Bus

Plenty of buses run into Darwen from the surrounding towns and villages. These include the number 1 from Blackburn and Bolton; the 2A from Blackburn; the 48 from Accrington and Clayton-le-Moors and the 268 from Chorley and Brinscall.

All buses into Darwen stop at Darwen Market, so get off here. Then, with the market on your left, follow the road down until it intersects with a main road called The Circus. Turn right up here and follow it as it turns into Green Street. After just a couple of minutes you will see the local job centre on your right.

Travelling by Car

If you're travelling by car, all you need to do is take the main A666 into Darwen and, when it reaches the town centre, this becomes Green Street, which is where you need to be. The A666 runs straight into Bolton to the south and connects with Blackburn and the M65 just to the north.

There is some on-street parking on the small roads off Green Street and there are also a couple of short-stay car parks close to the market square in Darwen, just a short walk away.
