We have set up a new community rehabilitation team to support people with serious mental illness and complex needs. Our team will support people who are ready to step down from inpatient rehabilitation services and provide high-intensity support to those currently accessing community mental health services with rehabilitation needs.
This is an excellent opportunity to be part of something new, a project aimed at supporting service users on their own individual recovery journey. We invite you to play a leading role in this established service that aims to provide high-quality clinical care for patients across North Lincolnshire.
We are looking for someone with experience in providing employment advice and guidance. The role of Employment Specialist will help our patients consider options for returning to work and support them to stay in work. The successful candidate will need to develop partnerships with employers, local providers, and services to ensure that the employment support needs of the patients are met.
Key Responsibilities of the Role
1. Help patients identify and consider options for returning to work and staying in work, and set their own personal job goals.
2. Ensure patients have access to employment law advice and are supported to exercise their rights under the Equality Act; work closely with employers on complex job retention issues, including cases of discrimination.
3. Teach employability skills to patients on a one-to-one basis and in group workshops (e.g., CVs, interview skills).
4. Keep up to date with local and national labour market trends, education/training opportunities, welfare benefit changes, and employment law related to people with mental health conditions.
5. Work as part of a team, sharing knowledge and expertise, and contributing to team meetings and service development activities.
