We are seeking a dynamic, caring and committed 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:

• Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams including recovery practitioners, nurses, support workers and community organisations to promote and encourage referrals.
• Engaging employers to develop partnerships.

The Service
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.
