1 week 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.

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

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
