Surrey


Are you interested in helping people who have, or are recovering from, mental health problems, integrate back into work? Would you like to be part of an organisation that counts on the professionalism, insight, expertise and passion of its staff to inspire individual recovery for the people they work with? Then join us as an Employment Specialist.


  • Right now, one of our partners, Richmond Fellowship, is looking for an Employment Specialist to join their Surrey Employment service. We help individuals with mental health problems to find paid employment, or unpaid voluntary work. We also assist employers and employees to successfully resolve mental health problems in the workplace. But, it's only possible with the help of people like you.

Your challenge? To do everything you can to help the individuals we work with to source appropriate work experience placements, paid or voluntary roles with local organisations/employers.

Day to day, you'll offer support, careers advice and guidance, helping people to set their own recovery and employment focused goals and provide training in personal and skills development such as CV preparation, interview techniques etc.

You'll also be responsible for establishing and maintaining positive links with community mental health teams (CMHRS), Early Intervention Into Psychosis (EIIP) Teams, partner organisations, local employers and other relevant agencies and have the initiative to develop and promote the service.

Additionally, you will have responsibility for maintaining efficient admin systems to ensure referrals, assessments and reviews are completed in a timely manner.

As well as a good understanding of the IPS model of working, mental health problems and the issues and barriers this can create for our clients, you'll need excellent motivational, presentation and listening skills and a willingness to travel in the local area and to work outside of office hours as required.

The main office for this role is based in Chertsey Surrey, however the delivery is Surrey and borders wide.- The post-holder will therefore be a car driver or have the ability to travel independently across the area.

This is a permanent full-time role requiring the post holder to work 37.5 hours per week.
