Job description

At Shaw Trust, we believe everyone deserves access to good work. As a not for profit organisation, we work with people who face barriers to employment, providing personalised support that brings together health, skills and employability services. Our work is impact‑driven, inclusive and innovative focused on creating real change for individuals, employers and communities across the UK.

As an Employment Specialist for Supported Employment or IPS you will support people with mental health needs to move into sustainable paid employment that matches their preferences and strengths.

Working with clients, health professionals, service providers and employers, you will manage a caseload and deliver either the Supported Employment (BASE) or Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model (full training provided). You’ll provide person‑centred advice, engage local employers and support individuals through their employment journey from referral to job sustainment.

This is a target‑driven, community‑based (peripatetic) role, with most of your time spent meeting participants, stakeholders and employers face to face. Minimal or no home working.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Delivering the Supported Employment or IPS approach in line with fidelity requirements
  • Supporting participants through all stages of their employment journey, including vocational profiling, action planning, job search, job placement and in‑work support
  • Building positive relationships with local employers to create suitable job opportunities
  • Achieving contractual targets including starts, job outcomes and job retention

Essential experience:

  • Knowledge or experience of Supported Employment or the IPS model
  • Experience working with people with mental health needs, health conditions, disabilities or similar client groups
  • One‑to‑one client support experience
  • Proven ability to meet performance targets and manage a caseload
  • Experience supporting people to obtain or retain employment
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to influence employers and stakeholders

Location:

This is a peripatetic role working in the community in and around East Yorkshire - there is no home working.

As an employee of Shaw Trust as well as positively impacting people’s lives, you will have access to the following benefits:

  • 25 days annual leave per year (plus bank holidays), with incremental increases post 3 years’ service up to 28 days, and the option to purchase additional holiday
  • 2 days paid volunteering leave each year
  • An enhanced pension scheme after 6 months
  • Life Assurance at 3 times your annual salary rate
  • Access to a suite of learning and development opportunities including paid for apprenticeship and masters’ levels qualifications, and management development programmes
  • Opportunities to connect with our employee diversity networks (LGBTQ+ Support Network, Racial Equality Network, Disability Equality Network, Women’s Network, Neurodiversity Peer Support Network, Menopause Peer Support Group, The MANaging Network, The Young Professionals Network and Back to Work Support Group)
  • Health and Wellbeing initiatives including internal support, employee assistance programme and health cash plan
