Full job description

About the role:

This is more than a job – it’s an opportunity to walk alongside young people as they rebuild confidence, rediscover their strengths, and take meaningful steps into employment. As an Employment Specialist, you’ll support young people aged 16–25 who are in recovery from drug and alcohol use to access paid work, training, or education. Using a supportive, strengths-based approach, you’ll help people identify what matters to them and take practical steps towards achieving it.

You’ll hold a caseload of around 25 young people, supporting them for up to 9 months, with additional in-work support once they’ve secured employment.

At the heart of this role is belief — belief in people’s potential, in recovery, and in the power of meaningful work.

An application form must be completed to apply for this role. Please head over to our website to download a form https://recoveryconnections.org.uk/job/ips-employment-specialist-sun/

Please note we do not accept CV's.

What You’ll Be Doing

Supporting People into Work

Build strong, trusting relationships with young people
Carry out personalised vocational profiling to understand each person’s goals, strengths and interests
Support with job searching, applications, CVs and interview preparation
Help people overcome barriers such as confidence, wellbeing, travel, or benefits

Working as Part of a Team

Work closely with key workers, clinicians and wider teams to support each person holistically
Take part in case discussions and contribute to joined-up care planning
Advocate for employment as a key part of recovery

Engaging Employers

Build relationships with local employers, colleges and training providers
Identify opportunities in both the open and “hidden” labour market
Support employers to create inclusive, supportive workplaces
Provide advice on reasonable adjustments and ongoing support

Supporting People to Sustain Work

Stay alongside people once they start work, offering reassurance and support where needed
Respond early if someone is struggling, helping them stay in employment
Work flexibly around the needs of both individuals and employers

Our Approach

You’ll work within the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model — an evidence-based approach that focuses on:

Rapid job search based on individual preference
Integration with treatment teams
Ongoing, personalised support

We also work in a way that is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and rooted in lived experience.

About You

You don’t need to have a perfect background — what matters most is your belief in people and your ability to connect, motivate and support.

We’re looking for someone who:

Is passionate about helping people overcome barriers and achieve their goals
Can build meaningful relationships with a wide range of people
Is proactive, organised and motivated
Sees potential where others might see challenges
Is comfortable working flexibly and creatively

Essential Experience & Knowledge

Experience supporting people facing barriers to employment
Understanding of the challenges faced by young people (16–25)
Knowledge of supported employment approaches or willingness to learn
Awareness of the impact of substance use and mental health on employment
Strong communication and interpersonal skills

Desirable

Experience working within substance misuse or mental health services
Knowledge of welfare benefits and employment support systems
Understanding of the IPS model

What You’ll Bring

A strengths-based, compassionate outlook
Confidence in building relationships with employers and partners
Ability to stay motivated and persistent, even when things are challenging
Strong problem-solving skills and a “can-do” attitude
Commitment to equality, inclusion and recovery

What We Offer

A values-driven, supportive organisation
Opportunities for training and development in IPS and beyond
A chance to make a genuine difference in people’s lives every day
A team who truly believe in recovery and lived experience
