Frontline Adviser of the Year
sponsored by The Institute of Employability Professionals
Employment advisers and job coaches who have demonstrated exceptional commitment in a frontline role
This award seeks to recognise an individual employee in a frontline role who has demonstrated exceptional commitment, either through directly helping jobseekers to overcome barriers to enter and maintain work or supporting employers to employ and support in employment jobseekers who have been long term unemployed.
Employment support providers are asked to nominate employees who:
- Have gone above and beyond the reasonable expectations of their employer (and of the wider industry), in their commitment to customer service.
- Have a sustained track record over a significant period of time of demonstrable high performances
- Have supported colleagues to embrace a customer-centred ethos, leading by example and helping co-workers to apply best practice in the support they provide jobseekers.
- Attract testimonials from current and previous customers (whether jobseekers or employers) who can vouch for the specific impact that their efforts have made to their personal lives or operations.
The award winner will be a truly inspiring industry exemplar of how effectively and compassionately to support the long term unemployed into successful and sustainable employment.
