Trish Collingwood

Trish (portrayed by Sarah Hadland) is a character who appears in all 18 episodes of The Job Lot. She is the manager of the Brownall Job Centre incharge of the centre and its staff.

Trish is really Highly-strung manger who faces a daily struggle to, well, manage the job centre. Not long returned from a catastrophic breakdown, Trish flits about with a nervous energy and grating determination to see the positive in everything.

In the throes of the messy divorce, she leans heavily on reluctant colleague Karl, but is slowly becoming more and more confident and independent again.

Trish has a stormy relationship with Angela Bromford who is useless and uncooperative. Before the start of the series Trish fired her but then won a employment tribunal and is back with a vengeance... and now pretty much un-sackable.
