Full job description

People with severe mental health challenges often face major barriers to employment. While over 75% want paid work, only 6–8% achieve it.

Berkshire Healthcare’s Individual Placement and Support (IPS) Employment Service, now celebrating its tenth anniversary, is looking for a Peer Employment Specialist to help change this. The role focuses on supporting people with severe mental health issues to gain, retain, and sustain paid employment.

At the start of your IPS journey, you will promote employment as a key part of recovery, working closely within Community Mental Health Services (CMHS) to build relationships and encourage timely referrals to the IPS service.

To apply, you must have personal experience of accessing secondary mental health services and feel able to manage your diagnosis well. Most importantly, we value your lived experience, resilience, willingness to support others, and ability to build positive relationships.

Full IPS training will be provided. You will support clinicians and clients in making informed choices about employment while helping challenge perceptions around mental health and work. Experience in supported employment or mental health services is helpful, but empathy, hope, and determination are essential.

There are two full-time roles (37.5 hours) available across the West and East Berkshire Community Mental Health Services teams, with travel required across Berkshire Healthcare locations.

Act as a visible and active presence within CMHS, promoting IPS and employment as a core part of recovery.

Build strong working relationships across CMHS to generate appropriate and timely IPS referrals.

Hold a caseload of around 20 clients , supporting individuals to explore employment goals in line with IPS principles.

Share lived experience appropriately to instill hope, build motivation, and reduce stigma around work and mental health.

Work closely with IPS Employment Specialists, clinicians, and MDT members to ensure integrated and coordinated support.
