Employment Specialist, Suffolk (Stowmarket area)

Would you like an opportunity to help people who have mental health needs find work and help sustain employment where relevant? Do you currently work or have experience in health or social care, recruitment, employment or education services? If you have transferable skills to enable people find /sustain employment, this is an excellent opportunity to join our team of Employment Specialists.

We are seeking individuals who are person centred and positive in their outlook, have a ‘can do’ attitude and enjoy the challenges of helping and empowering people to overcome any barriers to finding work. You must have strong communication and influencing skills and confidence in order to build up relationships with all relevant stakeholders including employers and businesses. You will be required to directly engage with a range of stakeholders (e.g. DWP, Job Centre +, employment law firms, voluntary organisations etc.) but especially local employers in order to create opportunities for service users and to challenge stigma and discrimination that can at times be associated with mental health needs and employment. You will also be meeting and working with people and stakeholders in their local community.

You will work within multi-disciplinary Mental Health Teams, alongside clinical colleagues and will be expected to ‘champion the employment agenda’, instilling the belief that people with mental health needs want to work and with the right support can work; and therefore generating referrals to the service. You will work in partnership with individual service users, developing relationships that are enabling and empowering. You will be providing an evidence based supported employment service (called Individual Placement and Support/IPS) which will require you to prepare individuals for employment by assessing needs, action planning, empowering effective jobseeking, identifying strengths, benefits advice and signposting, support networks, travel to work plans etc.

You will work to individual targets, i.e. the number of people accessing the service and supported into employment. You will be skilled in managing your own time and working with a high level of autonomy; responsible to the Team Leader via regular supervision and support and accountable to the Service Manager. You will promote best practice within mental health and employment in the Trust and other organisations in the local area.
