Jobcentre Plus job search

When searching on the Jobcentre Plus website for a job in a photo lab, what category do you search in? I searched for 'photo lab' and 'photographic technician', but nothing came up. Does that kind of job come under retail? It won't be 'skilled' or professional, will it, because you don't need qualifications, they train you.

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, I guess there aren't that many photo lab jobs available. I took my CV into one in my home town last year. They said there was a vacancy coming up and that they would get in touch, but they never did. They probably gave the job to someone they knew. There is another lab in my home town and I heard they set 2 people on last year, but I'm going to take my CV into that one soon.
If you work for Jobcentre Plus, can I ask you a question? I get laid off from work temporarily now and again. When I make a claim for jobseekers allowance and they ask what kind of job I'm looking for, I usually say the same kind of work as I'm doing now. But next time I make a claim, I want to say I'm looking for a job in a photo lab instead, because if I left my current job permanently and got another job, that's what I would want to do. But would they accept that as an option to put on my statement, even if it was a temporary job I was looking for, or would they say I was being too limited? It's not as if I wouldn't be looking for that kind of work myself while I was signing on for the few weeks I was laid off.
Max Spielman was the lab i took my CV into, but i keep forgetting that Boots have a alab, so thanks for that
