150 Public Sector Jobs For Belfast
Up to 150 new public sector jobs are to be created at the Northern Ireland Child Maintenance Service.
Social Development Minister Nelson McCausland said the new positions, which are mainly at administrative officer level, would be within the eastern division.
The jobs are part of a £3m investment in the service and the Department of Social Development (DSD) said the service would be responsible for parts of the UK as well as Northern Ireland.
The organisation, which currently employs more than 1,000 people locally, provides advice to separated parents on child maintenance payments.
Mr McCausland said: "Securing new jobs in the current climate is a challenge and it is testament to the hard work and dedication of staff in the Northern Ireland child maintenance service.
"These are jobs which could have gone to one of the other service providers in Great Britain, but Belfast has come out on top by offering a quality service and value for money."
Recruitment has already started for the positions with funding having been committed for at least two years.
