Ips Employment Specialist
CurrentI support 18-25 year olds with moderate to severe mental health conditions who are referred by the Youth Community Mental Health Team to inspire and guide them in recognising their potential and finding suitable and sustainable employment as part of their mental health recovery journey. I ensure that my clients’ voices are heard and that we set realistic, individualised goals, whilst supporting them to overcome their identified barriers to employment. I am proficient in coaching individuals through all aspects of the job-seeking process, including CV writing, job applications, and interview preparation. Additionally, I have extensive knowledge of reasonable adjustments for mental and physical health, ensuring clients receive the support they are entitled to. I have built and maintained positive relationships with local employers and take a holistic approach to ensure my clients are receiving comprehensive support. I provide ongoing support to my clients once they have secured employment, ensuring they receive the right assistance to thrive and succeed on their employment journeys.
