Responsibilities

You will work with clients (managing a caseload) who have mental health support needs, to assist them in securing sustainable paid employment in line with their preferences, to access training, education and volunteering opportunities. You will use a client led/person centred support approach.

You will also be working to targets whilst maintaining a high-quality service.

You need to have a desire to support people to achieve their employment goals, and the ability to multitask and manage your workload effectively.
