We currently have an exciting new opportunity for an In Work Support Officer to join our team working on the Love London Working Active Inclusion project across various London offices.



We'll look to you to provide on-going 1:1 job retention support to a caseload of customers with multiple and complex needs to return and sustain in work for at least six months.
