Changing jobcentre locations?

I really want to change my current jobcentre to possibly sign on with another jobcentre.
The place I sign on most of the advisers are intimidating and the place feels like a prison with about thousands of security staff. I can't really stand going back there I don't want to see my bullying adviser he lead me to depression. I am really dreading going in and explaining why I haven't had any interviews every 2 weeks. The guy is so patronising he makes it feel like I am a scrounger I even send 20 applications a week receive no/replies or rejections emails.

I have been with this jobcentre for just over a year and I really can't stand being talked to like a child.

    You can make a complaint to change your advisor, or you can change job centres. But I think you need to live in the same borough as your job centre. You've also got to factor in the traveling costs to your new centre. Either way give them a call, you can find the number on Google and ask to speak to a phone advisor. Good luck.

    The security staff are there for the protection of the staff and job seekers like yourself.
