The opportunity to change minds. The power to change lives.

For people who need mental health support, getting back into work is a vital step on their recovery journey. The evidence backs this up, but, although 90% of people with severe mental illness want to work, only 8% of them are in paid employment. That's why we're looking for people to join a community mental health team or early intervention team as an Employment Specialist, to champion our mission and help people who need mental health support get back into work.

These are incredibly rewarding roles - you'll have the opportunity to transform the lives of your clients, to give them hope, direction and support their recovery journey. This is also a challenging role, so you'll need to be resilient, empathetic and dedicated to finding clients a role that's right for them. As a people person, you'll build a good rapport with your clients, gaining a real understanding of their key skills, their aspirations and their career goals and finding them opportunities to match. You'll spend time building productive relationships with both new and existing employers in order to identify and negotiate job opportunities in the hidden labour market.


If you're looking for a career where you can make a positive difference to the lives of people needing mental health support and create a fairer, more inclusive society in a role where no two days are the same, apply today.

These are exciting opportunities for enthusiastic, self-assured and positive individuals who would like to help people who have experienced mental ill health into sustainable employment as part of their recovery.

The post-holder will be embedded alongside mental health professionals in community mental health settings and will support a caseload of up to 25 individuals with all the activities that will help them to gain and retain a suitable paid job.

The post-holders will also be a member of the IPS Employment Team who are embedded in teams across NHFT's adult mental health services and will be supported by the IPS Team Leader.

These roles are based out of St Mary's Hospital, Kettering but seeing service users around
Corby
(occasional opportunity for home working) with some travel countywide, and about 65% of time is spent in community settings. The ability to travel to different community locations and employers' premises is essential.
