We empower citizens within Birmingham by building self-belief and resilience, aiming to maintain wellbeing and create pathways to secure opportunities for volunteering, training, education, and employment.

Job Purpose:

The IPS Employment Specialist will deliver high-quality, person-centred employment support in line with the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model, helping young people aged 16–29 to prepare for, secure and sustain meaningful paid employment.

The post holder will work with individuals experiencing mental health needs, neurodiversity, learning difficulties or disabilities, health conditions, or other barriers to employment. The role requires intensive one-to-one support, strong employer engagement, and collaborative working with health professionals, community organisations and other partner agencies.

This role forms part of the Connect to Work Programme, supporting participants across Birmingham through tailored employment interventions and ongoing in-work support

Deliver the IPS model of supported employment, applying the core IPS principles including rapid job search, personalised support and ongoing in-work support.
Support participants to identify their aspirations, strengths, skills and barriers to employment through vocational profiling and action planning.
Provide one-to-one job coaching and employability support to help individuals move towards and into sustainable paid employment.
Support participants to develop confidence, independence and positive workplace behaviours.

Build and maintain positive relationships with local employers to identify suitable job opportunities.
Match participants to employment opportunities that align with their goals, strengths and preferences.
Promote inclusive recruitment practices and support employers to improve retention and workplace outcomes.
Raise awareness of mental health, disability inclusion and the benefits of supported employment with employers and partners.

Partnership Working:

Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams, health services, community organisations and other stakeholders to support participant outcomes.
Maintain effective communication with referral partners and wider support services to ensure joined-up provision.

Monitoring and Compliance:

Maintain accurate and timely records of participant engagement, progress, outcomes and employer activity in line with programme and IPS 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.

Service Quality and Safeguarding:

Promote safeguarding, equality, diversity and inclusion at all times.
Ensure a safe, effective and person-centred service for all participants.
Follow all legal, organisational and programme requirements in relation to confidentiality, data protection and participant welfare.

Additional Responsibilities:

Travel across Birmingham, and surrounding areas where required, to provide community-based and in-work support.
Adhere to all Better Pathways policies, including health and safety and equality and diversity.
Undertake any other duties within the scope and expectations of the role as required.

Skills and Experience:

Essential:

Experience supporting individuals with mental health needs, learning disabilities, autism and/or other complex barriers to employment.
Experience in employability, careers guidance or employment support.
Experience of employer engagement and building relationships with businesses.
A proven track record of achieving targets and positive outcomes.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trust and motivate others.
A person-centred and flexible approach to supporting individuals.
