Can job centre help me get my old job back?

What makes you think the job is still available? Was the change in location advertised?

So if it’s too far for you why do you want the job back? And no, it’s unlikely you would be considered for the job again because declining last minute is very, very bad form (tbf, so is the employer changing location last minute). Besides, the job has probably already been given to someone else by now.

I don't really want the job back, there were more pros than cons but one of the cons is the location and that's the main thing. I also hate that it's male dominated and I will be one of 3 girls there in the second site. It was just a question because now the job centre is going to ask why I am not in work as they know that I am meant to be working

Also, how far is the second location from the original one advertised?

I think you'd raised this a couple of weeks ago. As before, it's up to the employer, but they're not likely to be interested in having you. Especially if the training provider recently said "you've said no and decided not to give it a go so they don't want to know you", (from the other thread).

The job centre will be concerned as this sounds like a regular occurrence:

- Would anything happen if I constantly applied for jobs and declined at the last minute
- I usually reject after a day due to severe exhaustion, do you think it's right that I accept the apprenticeship then?

Declining a job because the information about the location was incorrect should not be down to you, but if it is a reasonable commute then that is your decision. If you cannot complete a single days work without exhaustion then you need to get signed off because this will just keep happening otherwise.

This is the first time the job centre knows I had a job and declined, and I don't usually get offered jobs (well it tends to be apprenticeships) but twice I was offered this year and the job centre had no clue, the first time was the dangerous location for the reason for me declining and I wasn't even aware of the location until I applied as indeed doesn't specify.

This time I thought I was going to go to my job as I thought I was going to the original site and then they switched it to the second site and think to tell me full details 3 days before but gradually telling me over a period of time, I thought about going even to the second site but decided on the day I was meant to go like half an hour before I was supposed to meet my manager that I wasn't going to go as it is too far and I would have been half an hour late so I would have gone there at 8:30, not 8:00 which is when I was supposed to start, which also gives a bad impression, and my job centre appointment clashes with the first day of my apprenticeship so I had to tell them I got a job and now that I didn't take it up I could get into trouble.

Why not just tell them you've got an apprenticeship lined up?

28 minutes, and I used the postcode of the sports direct shop because as far as I know the original site is not built yet.

I was just wondering though if job centre are desperate to get people into work would they contact your previous employer and get you your old job back?

If I am honest I think you are anxious about work, (distance, gender diversity, safety etc.), and are tying yourself in knots trying not to appear like you are declining things for no reason. All roles are going to require some aspect of compromise, and I think you need support with either your physical or MH so that you are in a place where you can accept a place then continue with it.
