    Description

    Are you passionate about supporting residents into work? Are you looking for a fresh new challenge within a dynamic team?

    The Team

    The Supported Employment Team are based within the Employment & Skills team, assisting local people to access employment via placements and traineeships hosted at external organisations or temporary appointments within the Council. We work with clients who may need additional and targeted support such as care leavers, people with learning disabilities, women returning to the labour market, people aged 50plus and any other group who is furthest labour.

    The Individual Placement Support in Primary Care (IPSPC) Supported Employment Officer role is 12-month fixed term contract, with the potential to extend for up to another 6-months.

    The opportunity to change minds. The power to change lives.

    For people who need mental health support, getting back into work is a vital step on their recovery journey. The evidence backs this up, but although 90% of people with severe mental illness want to work, only 8% of them are in paid employment. That's why we're looking for people to join this new DWP funded service as an IPSPC Supported Employment Officer, to champion our mission and help people who need mental health support - your clients - get back into work.

    This is an incredibly rewarding role - you'll have the opportunity to transform the lives of your clients, to give them hope, direction and support their recovery journey. This is also a challenging role, so you'll need to be resilient, empathetic and dedicated to finding clients a role that's right for them. As a people person, you'll build a good rapport with your clients, gaining a real understanding of their key skills, their aspirations and their career goals and finding them opportunities to match. You'll also spend time building productive relationships with employers in order to identify and negotiate job opportunities in the hidden labour market.

    We welcome people from a range of backgrounds and with a variety of experience for this role - you don't need any specific qualifications or clinical experience. We'll train you on the Individual Placement & Support (IPS) approach, giving you the tools you need to provide expert support and advice to clients, while also building positive relationships with employers, opening doors and changing perceptions around mental health.

    If you're looking for a career where you can make a positive difference to the lives of people needing mental health support and create a fairer, more inclusive society in a role where no two days are the same then please apply.
