London Borough of Hillingdon, United Kingdom Via Westminster Drug Project Full time

Job Summary

We are seeking a dynamic and caring individual to join our IPS Into Work team and provide a holistic employment support service.

The role is extremely rewarding, and you can make a lasting positive impact.

A normal week would involve:

  • Working closely with service users to provide a personalised employment service supporting them achieve their dreams.
  • Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams including recovery practitioners, nurses, support workers and community organisations to promote and encourage referrals.
  • Engaging employers to develop partnerships.

Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is an evidence-based employment support model that helps individuals with a background in mental health and/or substance misuse work towards their employment goals through personalised support that aligns with their wellbeing.

Here are a few quotes from service users that have transformed their lives through our help:

"I had been drifting and my confidence had sunk... IPS helped change my life"

"I got the help that I was looking for... I found work after 17 years of being unemployed"

At Via, we care about helping people overcome substance misuse and we feel that employment goes hand in hand with recovery.

We offer a generous range of benefits, including 30 days annual leave for all new starters, our health and wellbeing initiatives, financial perks and development opportunities.

For more information about the role, please contact Bareesan Potharatnam, IPS Team Leader.
