The first jobs at the Dundee headquarters of Scotland's new social security service have been advertised.

Job seekers packed into a jobs fair in the city on Wednesday to find out more about the first 80 of almost 2000 new posts.

Successful applicants will help people to access the support that they are entitled to and will help to deliver the first payments for the Carer's Allowance Supplement this summer.

There will be 750 posts in Dundee, a similar number in Glasgow and at least a further 400 jobs to be based in local areas across Scotland.

Social Security Minister Jeane Freeman said: "This is another important step towards creating Scotland's first social security agency which will be based on our principles of dignity, fairness and respect.

"We are looking for people with positive attitudes who share our ambition to deliver a public service that people in Scotland can be proud of.

"Dignity and respect can't be limited to the way we deliver our service. It has to be evident in how we treat our staff."
