Employment opportunity to support the people of Glasgow

Jobs and Business Glasgow (JBG is fine) is probably the biggest provider of employment and training advice and support in the city. And we’re pretty successful at it, even if we do say so ourselves.

In this last year as our City recovers from the impact of the Covid pandemic, we have worked with more than 2,700 of Glasgow’s finest upstanding citizens to help them find work, access training, sometimes just being a friendly face and voice in the lonely days following lockdowns.

We’re proud of what we do but we’re always looking for new and innovative ways to support even more people.

So that’s enough about us, we want to know a bit about you. How have you been affected by the pandemic? Maybe you’re unemployed, lost your job because of the pandemic, working on the dreaded “zero-hours” contract with no regular hours on offer? Do you have experience of delivering fabulous customer service, are you always determined to go the extra mile, do you like the sound of us and what we do?

If so, read on…….
