    The Role

The six key stages on a typical journey are: outreach/referral; vocational profiling; action planning; job search activities (including working on a one to one basis with employers to match people with appropriate employment); job placement and coordinating support whilst in employment; managing withdrawal of support as the in work support is no longer required.

    Duties and Responsibilities

This includes support with their job search, CV production, application forms, interview techniques and career development.

    • Attend weekly clinical team meetings as an embedded IPS practitioner.
    • Source job opportunities for clients through tailored job search and regular contact with local employers to explore hidden as well as advertised employment opportunities.
    • Provide education and support to employers, as agreed with the individual, which may include negotiating adjustments, return to work strategy and on-going contact with the employer to ensure job retention.
    • Build relationships with colleagues in clinical teams to engage and generate referrals and create collaborative working partnerships with clinical staff (promoting employment as a positive intervention in the recovery journey).
    • Once employment has been secured continue to provide quality service through conducting regular visits, effective monitoring and in-work support to clients and employers to help sustain employment.
    • Spend time getting to know local employers, in order to negotiate job opportunities that meet each individual's strengths, needs, abilities and preferences.
    • To challenge inequalities experienced by clients and address existing discrimination, whilst ensuring a process of learning for the organisation
    • Work with employers to promote the service, identify job opportunities and ensure appropriate strategies are in place to reduce barriers in the work place – this can include exploring 'job carving' i.e. carving small slices of work from the duties other staff do not have time to do.

    Required Skills and Experience

    • Experience/understanding of working with people with mental health support needs, or a similar client group within health, social services or the voluntary sector
