I believe the answer is:

too

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'further' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'direction of the job centre' is the wordplay.
'direction' becomes 't' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'of' becomes 'o''.
'centre' means to look at the middle letters.
The middle of 'job' is 'o'.
't'+'o'+'o'='TOO'

'in the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for too that I've seen before include "Additionally" , "Excessively" , "Furthermore" , "To a greater than desirable extent" , "Likewise" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
