Responsible to EIP Co-ordinator

This is a regional service operating across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire. The service is mainly delivered remotely and there will be a requirement to travel.

**Role Summary**:
As an Employment Specialist Practitioner, you will play a vital role in helping people with mental health support needs on their recovery journey. This is an opportunity to offer hands-on support, to give people the tools they need to recover and ultimately, to transform lives.

It calls for a combination of skills: the ability to empathise with clients; the resilience and determination to seek out job and training opportunities; the communication skills to engage employers and other opportunities and change perceptions around mental health. As an Employment Specialist Practitioner, you’re not just transforming the lives of the people you work with, you’re also creating a fairer and more inclusive society.

**Role Responsibilities**:
Working alongside a clinical mental health team, you’ll have a range of responsibilities, including:

- Regularly meeting with clients to listen, offer support, help them identify their best job match, reflecting their skills and aspirations.
- Producing a person-centred action plan for each client to help break down barriers to employment including supporting them to progress to training and education in preparation for paid employment.
- Helping clients with their job search, CV production, skills building, interview techniques and career development.
- Supporting clients with managing their health at work, with input from the wider health team.
- Sourcing job opportunities for clients through job searching as well as through direct contact with employers.
- Developing collaborative working relationships with the wider clinical team and promoting the service as a positive step in the recovery journey.
- Adhering to administrative and data capture protocols which record the progress of individuals, and to keep accurate and complete records of casework.
- Undertaking training as and when required.
- Maintaining a professional relationship with the service users of the programme, the clinical team and external organisations, with particular attention to confidentiality and the maintenance of boundaries.
