Description

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 a community mental health team as an Employment Specialist, to champion our mission and help people who need mental health support 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 are delighted to be recruiting 4 additional employment specialists to join our team, due to an expansion of the service.
