**Purpose of the post**
- Ensure that the people of Gwynedd are at the heart of everything we do.
- The North Wales Together Learning Disability Transformation Programme has secured additional Regional Integration Funding (RIF) to roll out the sub-regional supported employment for people with learning disabilities eligible for care and support under the Social Services and Wellbeing Act, aged 14 plus.
- The North Wales Regional Supported Employment Strategy was co-produced for the North Wales Learning Disability Partnership Group. The model is the primary way that the strategy will be implemented across the region.
- The model will be implemented using a sub-regional approach with local authorities working in partnership and sharing project resources. The aim of the model is to support more people with diagnosed learning disabilities known to the local authorities to have equal access to paid employment. The longer term aim is to embed access to paid employment as a new care pathway across the six learning disability social services teams.

- Provide guidance and support to the operational teams for all employment related issues using a multi-disciplinary approach.
- Develop links with local secondary schools to ensure that the option of paid employment is routinely considered as part of transition planning.
- Enable individuals to access local employability services/ options including specialist supported employment/ job coaching.
- Implement the performance management framework for the service, record and collate qualitative and quantitative date on progress, and produce timely and high quality monitoring reports.
- Establish and administer a sub-regional steering group and report on progress, challenges, and achievements.
- Promote paid employment and the core values of supported employment to the Gwynedd County Council and Ynys Mon County Council operational teams. Provide encouragement and practical support to help them routinely have work focused discussions with people as part of “what matters conversations”, care planning and support processes, and reviews.
- Develop and deliver information and awareness raising sessions to the operational teams to raise their awareness of the supported employment model, referral pathway and processes.
- Use different strategies to identify and address the concerns, misapprehensions and potential barriers that preventing citizens, parents, and/or professionals from considering paid employment as an option for the people they care for/ work with.
- Generate links between work opportunity day services and paid employment. Encourage day service support workers to be guiding individuals towards a skill bank that can help them compete for paid employment.
- Establish partnership arrangements with schools/ colleges and Education Officers to ensure that paid employment is routinely being considered as a genuine and realistic option within transition planning and the IDP review process.
- Develop knowledge of local employability services and options available across both counties, access criteria for the service, to be able to match job seekers with the most appropriate service to meet their individual support needs and employment aspirations.
- Establish effective joint working relationships with the specialist supported/ job coaching service for the West, including referral protocols and procedures and joint working arrangements.
- Support onward referrals to the most suitable employment service, including joint referral meetings, and monitor the individual’s progress to ensure they are progressing towards achieving their employment aspirations and goals.
- Implement the agreed performance monitoring framework for the service: establish valid methods for collecting quantitative and qualitative data, collate and record outcome data, produce high quality reports and case studies for reporting to the Learning Disability Transformation Team and relevant projects boards.
- Engage with regional good practice forums for the mode
