- Emphasise client choice and preferences throughout the employment process, empowering individuals to make informed decisions regarding their work options.
- Promote rapid job search strategies, aiming to engage clients with the job market as quickly as possible, rather than prolonged assessments or training periods.
- Proven experience in employment support, demonstrating success in helping individuals with mental health conditions secure and sustain employment, ideally within the IPS model.
- Ability to create individualised employment plans and SMART Action Plans that focus on each client's unique strengths and barriers.
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with experience in employer engagement and securing sustainable job opportunities.
