Do you believe you have the skills to support people back into employment? Do you take pride in what you do, and can you think creatively about how different organisations can work together to deliver a better service? Are you happy to talk with employers and help match people into meaningful work? We have an exciting opportunity for an IPS Employment Specialist to join our team in Wigan & Leigh.
Our IPS (Individual Placement and Support Employment Specialists) team aims to increase the number of people moving into meaningful employment from our drug and alcohol support service. This is a new project and is an exciting opportunity to help make a real difference to people's lives. No two days are the same and we treat every person who comes into our service as an individual, so being flexible, curious and a good listener are key.
