- Provide information and guidance to employers on reasonable adjustments, onboarding and ongoing workplace support.

Partnership Working

- Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams, health services, education providers, community organisations and other stakeholders to support participant outcomes.

- Maintain effective communication with referral partners and wider support services to ensure joined-up provision.

- Work with families, carers and other professionals where appropriate to support participants to achieve their employment goals.

Monitoring and Compliance

- Maintain accurate and timely records of participant engagement, progress, outcomes and employer activity in line with programme requirements and the relevant IPS or SEQF fidelity requirements.

- Contribute to programme monitoring and impact measurement through collection of destination data and evidence of outcomes.

- Ensure all employment opportunities, placements and support activity meet safeguarding and Health & Safety standards.

- Monitor participant progress across all stages of supported employment and adapt support plans where required.
