Hospitality Action has partnered with Savoy Educational Trust to introduce a new benefits advisor role to support hospitality workers. Suad Hersi joins Hospitality Action as a benefits advisor who will focus on educating hospitality professionals about their entitlements, providing personalised guidance, and helping them navigate the often-complex government and corporate benefit schemes.
The appointment comes as Hospitality Action looks to further ensure that hospitality workers have access to the additional, readily available financial support that many don’t realise they are entitled to, helping them uncover vital benefits and entitlements that often go unnoticed.
Suad joins with a wealth of experience in the benefits sector, and this new role will help to enable workers to secure financial support for everything from tax credits to pension plans and disability allowances, significantly improving their financial wellbeing and in turn their mental health.
Mark Lewis, Chief Executive of Hospitality Action, said: “We’ve seen very quickly the positive impact that personalised benefits advice can have on hospitality workers.
It can be a minefield leaving many not knowing where or how to start. Financial assistance is one of the biggest areas of support that hospitality workers ask for when they contact us, and we’re proud to offer a service that helps ensure they can access invaluable support to which they are entitled. In partnership with the Savoy Educational Trust, we are helping to break down the barriers to accessing these vital benefits, improving the lives of those who are, and have been, the backbone of our industry.”
