Not all from Thornaby to go to Rainton. please see below an extract from newspaper:

Under the proposals, customers would continue to be served by people based in UK call centres but back office functions such as checking meter readings against bills will be outsourced to India using Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), and some of npower’s customer facing work would be transferred to Capita.

In total, across the North East, npower currently employs around 3950 people – but the latest announcement means 430 people in the region would be made redundant, with around 540 transferring to Capita.

The cuts will hit hardest at the firm’s regional headquarters in Sunderland, where 430 back office roles will be cut, and around 410 people will moving to Capita in Peterlee.

However, up to 1,130 people will move to Rainton from Peterlee and Thornaby.

In Peterlee the company says there will be no redundancies but around 110 employees will transfer to Capita and around 630 will move to Rainton.

Tyne House, which has around 500 employees, would be unaffected by this review, though Tees House would close, and it is proposed that the ownership of Wear House would transfer to Capita.

The Thornaby site would close completely in June 2014 but all staff are to be offered alternative employment elsewhere in the North East, with support with transport for three years.

Affected employees will now begin a 60 day consultation process.

loos like the 430 job losses at present will be from Npower Sunderland, I think its the Doxford Park site.

Maybe the government should give Npower 9 million pounds to keep the jobs in the Uk, government already given Nissan 9 million pound recently and you can add on millions of pounds since Nissan was opened in Washington, and after Nissan got the 9 million from the government then all of a sudden there was 400 job vancancies at Nissan
