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 Employment Specialist will deliver high-quality, person-centred employment support in line with the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model and/or Supported Employment Quality Framework (SEQF), helping people aged 16+ 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.

Employer Engagement

- Build and maintain positive relationships with local employers to identify suitable job opportunities.

- Match participants to employment opportunities that align with their goals, strengths, preferences and support needs.

- Promote inclusive recruitment practices and support employers to improve retention and workplace outcomes.

- Raise awareness of disability inclusion, neurodiversity, mental health and the benefits of supported employment with employers and partners.

- 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.

- Contribute to internal quality assurance, continuous improvement and service development in line with supported employment standards.
