Caseworker - Employment Specialist

The role

As an Employment Specialist you will carry your own caseload of participants and support them end to end, from first conversation to sustained employment.

• Support a caseload of participants, with caseload size guided by IPS fidelity standards so you can give each person the time they need.
• Work to the principle of zero exclusion, supporting anyone who wants to work regardless of background or circumstance.
• Begin rapid job search based on each participant's preferences, strengths and goals rather than a fixed programme.
• Build and maintain relationships with local employers, matching roles to people and negotiating opportunities.
• Provide individualised in-work support to help participants settle and stay in their jobs.
• Work closely with health teams, local authority colleagues and partners across the voluntary and community sector to support people in a joined-up way.

• Experience supporting people facing significant barriers, ideally in employment, housing, health or a related frontline setting.
• A genuine belief that anyone can work with the right support, and the persistence to make it happen.
• Confidence building relationships across very different audiences, from a participant having a hard week to an employer you are asking to take a chance.
• Strong organisation and the ability to manage a caseload independently.
• Familiarity with IPS or a willingness to learn the model and work to fidelity.
