About

People with mental health problems often want to be working but don't know how to go about it or need support to make it happen.

IPS takes an evidence-based approach always using client-centred - employment as an active intervention to assist individual recovery.

Employment specialists can support clients by helping:

  • To overcome setbacks and worries at work
  • With career progression
  • Get the right information about benefits to avoid the risks and anxieties of becoming worse off in work where possible
  • Make contact with employers and offer support when meeting with them, if needed
  • Provide ongoing in-work support to ensure sustained employment.

You can access our service if you are aged 18 or over, motivated to get a paid job and willing to start actively job searching.
