Mental Health Employment Specialist

2 months ago

Grantham, United Kingdom Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The Department of Health’s strategy for mental health includes the drive to ensure that those with mental health conditions have access to recovery focused interventions, including support to gain meaningful, paid employment and to maintain this.

An opportunity has arisen to work within LPFT’s Individual Placement and Support (IPS) Team as a Mental Health Employment Specialist, working with service users in the Adult Community Division to help them with their employment goals. This is a full time post, based in Grantham and surrounding areas.

The post holder 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 centred approach

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

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

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.
