Are you looking for an opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of people with Mental Health challenges & believe you have the skills to support people into employment?

If so, this role may be just what you're looking for!

For people with Mental Health challenges getting into paid work is a vital step in their recovery. Evidence shows that working leads to improved Mental Health, so we are looking for people to join our Individual Placement & Support in Primary Care Service (IPSPC) as Specialist Support Workers.

This rewarding role will transform lives, giving hope, direction, & support in participant recovery. This role is challenging, so you’ll need to be resilient, empathetic, & dedicated to supporting participants as they enter the workforce. As a people person, you will build rapport & relationships with participants & employers to provide support and guidance. As this is currently a fixed-term project, we are looking for people who will show this service to be the invaluable resource that we believe it will be, providing accurate data to evidence that this service should become a part of statutory mental health services.

We welcome people from a range of backgrounds & experiences, particularly those who have lived experience of Mental Health services. We will train you on the IPSPC approach, providing you with all the tools and training you need.

You will be a key part of the service, helping us to develop & shape it to suit the needs of the population.
