All the new appointments are located in the debt management telephony centre which links callers to multiple individual sites across the country and are now being advertised on the HMRC website.

A spokesman for HMRC said: “Although these are fixed term appointments, they do provide opportunities for people to obtain work in their local area.’’

The news has been welcomed by Gregg McClymont MP who said: “It’s welcome vote of confidence by UK HMRC in the Cumbernauld workforce at a time when unemployment is high and jobs are scarce.

“I am delighted that HMRC is providing new opportunities for local people to get into the workplace and I am encouraging jobless constituents who have contacted me to make an application,’’ he added.
