This charity offers IPS employment support, and if youre new to the model, dont worrytheyll teach you everything you need to know. People tend to stick around here because its a great place to work (theyre part of the Manchester Good Employment Charter). Plus, there are plenty of chances to grow, with staff often moving into roles in other parts of the charity, like their college or supported internship programmes.
So, whats the job?
- Youll be working with a caseload of around 20 job seekers. These clients will have recently come out of hospital and have suffered intense mental health support challanges, so theyre early in recovery but ready to start thinking about work again.
- Youll be working alongside a clinical team wholl be providing support to the client too, so youre part of a bigger team working towards the same goal.
- The role is a mix of office and community-based work. So, youll be in the charitys local office, an NHS setting, or out in the community meeting your clients.
- A typical week will see you spending about three days doing one-to-one sessions, helping clients with things like CVs, job searches, interview prep, and finding the right type of employers for them.
- The other two days will focus on employer engagementreaching out to local employers, discussing opportunities, and seeing how your clients can be a good fit (and making sure employers know what your clients might need). Youll be expected to meet with employers regularly.
