The Role

As an Employment Specialist for Supported Employment or IPS, you will support people with mental health needs to move into sustainable paid employment that matches their preferences and strengths.

Working with clients, health professionals, service providers and employers, you will manage a caseload and deliver either the Supported Employment (BASE) or Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model (full training provided). You’ll provide person centred advice, engage local employers and support individuals through their employment journey from referral to job sustainment.

This is a target driven, community based (peripatetic) role, with most of your time spent meeting participants, stakeholders and employers face to face, with minimal or no home working.
