As an IAGO, you will work closely with the Works for Us Team Manager to ensure the efficient and effective delivery of employability services to the public. This includes providing face-to-face advice, phone support and email services. The role demands adaptability to fast-changing priorities, compliance with quality standards, and a commitment to delivering in-depth employability advice and guidance.
