Naveed joined GC in January 2022 as an Employment Advisor on the Restart Scheme contract in South Yorkshire, and in October of that year moved into the In Work Support team – supporting customers with second jobs.
In August 2023, Naveed was successful in his application for the role of Lead Employment Advisor on the new Home Office Refugee Employability Programme (REP) in Yorkshire, and in December 2023 will move into the Service Manager role for West Yorkshire.
Teresa Samuels, Operations Manager for the REP team, said of Naveed:
"Naveed has impressed me with his ability to conquer new challenges.
"He has had a steep learning curve since joining the REP team, but is clearly thriving.
"I chose him as the new Service Manager because he takes on board all the leadership mentoring and constantly strives to improve, not only himself but the team around him.
"He is extremely personable and a great asset to our REP family."
