Warwick, United Kingdom Rethink Mental Illness Full time

We are looking for an experienced and Passionate IPS Employment Specialist to work as part of our Community Warwickshire IPS Employment Specialist Team.

Imagine being part of an organisation whose common purpose is to help those who are severely impacted by mental illness. We believe that everyone should be treated with respect and dignity - and that’s why equity is one of our core values. We draw on the expertise, unique perspectives and lived experience of our people - regardless of who they are or their background - to help us become inclusive and anti-racist employer, campaigning organisation and service provider that reflect the diverse communities we support as a mental health charity.

Warwickshire Employment Service offer a supported employment service to people who are in or have been part of Secondary Mental Health Services, people who are unemployed or inactive, to help them find employment. We also support a small number of people who are in employment and are struggling because of a mental illness.

**How you will make a difference**
- I manage a caseload of between 20-30 service users at any one time who are currently off work / unemployed, receiving specialist mental health services and who wish to return to work.
- I meet and exceed job outcome targets for service users
- I build relationships with clinical teams to generate referrals and create a collaborative working partnership with NHS clinicians where employment support is integrated into mental health treatment.
- I build a multi-disciplinary approach to the return to work. For example, involve clinical staff (where relevant) in managing symptoms at work, medication reviews and supporting rehabilitation needs e.g. social skill development, budgeting, travel training etc.
- I prepare individuals for a return to work by supporting service users to understand their skills, aspirations and goals through vocational profiling and action planning.
- I focus on rapid job search with the service user, whilst utilising local support networks to help them overcome their barriers to employment.
- I source job opportunities for service users through tailored job search and regular contact with employers.
- I spend time getting to know local employers, in order to negotiate job opportunities that meet each individual’s strengths, needs, abilities and preferences.
- I place service users with employers, ensuring that the quality of work environments is explored, including potential for workplace adjustments that will accommodate individual strengths, skills symptoms and coping skills.
- I support wider team by exploring ‘job carving’ i.e. carving small slices of work from the duties other staff who do not have time to complete.
- I develop effective working relationships with a range of external agencies who might be better able to help individuals to achieve their employment goals for example, local colleges, training providers and external supported employment services

**What we are looking for**

**We are looking for an individual who**:

- Educated to a degree level or equivalent
- Full and current driving licence (for rural and remote regions)
- Experience of working in supported employment services
- Experience of working with people with mental health problems or a similar service user group
- Knowledge of disability and special needs issues, policies and legislation in relation to employment
- Good understanding of the principles and practice of supported employment
