Mental Health Employment Specialist

2 weeks ago

Lincoln, United Kingdom Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Due to recent expansion a number of opportunities have arisen to work within LPFT’s Individual Placement and Support (IPS) Team as Mental Health Employment Specialists, working with service users in the Adult Community Division to help them with their employment goals. Various posts are available across the county, locations to be discussed with applicants. These posts are advertised as fixed term contracts for six months but could become substantive if permanent funding is secured.

The post holders will provide Individual Placement and Support to a caseload of service users mainly in defined localities within Lincolnshire but cover for other geographical areas covered by the Trust may be required if the need arises.

This posts require both enthusiasm and a commitment towards supporting people with mental health conditions to retain and access paid employment. This includes working collaboratively with a wide range of employers and relevant agencies and partners from the statutory, voluntary and business sectors, internal and external to the Trust.

An understanding of the benefits of employment as part of the recovery process and a positive attitude to enabling service users to overcome barriers within employment, are essential. The post will involve working in the community and requires the ability to work autonomously, working closely with teams across the Trust’s Adult Community Division in Lincolnshire.

Follow the IPS model and collate evidence for fidelity reviews

Support service users to either find and maintain paid employment, or to retain existing employment

Identify and meet their vocational goals by providing individually tailored programmes using a person centered approach

Attending interviews, Occupational Health reviews, disciplinary meetings and other workplace meetings for follow-on or retention support

Identifying reasonable adjustments and other workplace adaptations

Actively and regularly engage with employers

Effective communication with CMHT colleagues and relevant organisations

Make regular written and verbal reports concerning the progress of service users and maintain written electronic records as per Trust policy using the Trust’s clinical information system

Present to internal and external stakeholders

Maintaining individual caseload, caseload data, diary and spreadsheets

Ensure compliance to the policies, procedures and working practices of Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust

Review and actively contribute to the development of the service in line with best practice and evidence based interventions

Participate in the provision of an extended hour’s service as needed

Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust provides mental health services and a number of learning disability, autism and social care services in the county of Lincolnshire. Employing around 2,800 staff, and serving a population of over 766,000, our people lie at the heart of everything we do.

You could be part of a Trust rated by staff as one of the best mental health and learning disability trusts in England, in an area heralded as a fantastic place to live and work. We firmly believe the key to high quality care is a contented workforce. This is reflected in our Care Quality Commission rating of ‘outstanding’ for well-led and ‘good’ overall. In the most recent National NHS Staff Survey, our staff rated us as the number one trust nationally for staff morale and one of the top scoring NHS Trusts in the Midlands for being compassionate and inclusive. We’re really proud of this

We are also leading the way in transforming care, with multi-million-pound transformation of patient environments and radical redesign of community services.

This is the time to join and help redesign our services of the future. We offer options for flexible working and provide a wide range of training and promotion opportunities in all professions. We support and celebrate diversity, have active staff networks groups and are always looking at what more we can do to support our staff.

You will be educated to degree level or hold equivalent experience in the field of supported employment, have knowledge of the national employment and welfare benefits agenda; and have skills and recent experience of working with people with mental health conditions. LPFT holds a “Good Fidelity” status with IPS Grow; you must be willing to undertake training in the model of IPS, the evidence-based intervention used by the service.
