- To work with client key workers and clinical staff, including through case conferencing, to ensure that clients receive appropriate support from everyone involved in their care during the return-to-work process.
- To provide advice and support to employers, as agreed with the individual, which may include negotiating adjustments and on-going contact with supervisors to ensure job retention.
- To assess individual support needs related to work which might typically include help with welfare benefits, travel to work, managing health at work etc.
- To work flexibly on occasion as required by clients and employers, which may require some working out of normal office hours.
- Promote the profile of employment and working embedded within the team to raise expectations around the ability of clients to attain paid work.

**Professional Development**

- To work with the local IPS Senior Employment Specialist and service management to ensure that vocational support services offered continue to develop effectively.
