Job Description:
Are you a Psychology graduate (or early in your career) looking to apply your knowledge in a meaningful, real-world role? Join one of the UK’s largest charities and help people improve their mental health by supporting them into work. We’re recruiting for roles across Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, and Brent.
The Role:
You’ll train as an IPS (Individual Placement and Support) Employment Specialist—an evidence-based, clinically-informed model that helps people with mainly mental health conditions into employment. This is not a therapy role; your focus is on supporting people into work, a key part of recovery. You’ll manage a caseload of around 25 people, deliver 1:1 support (CVs, job search, interviews, in-work support), work alongside NHS teams, Jobcentres, and local partners, and engage employers to create job opportunities. This is a community-based role (no office/home working), meeting people across local sites.
You’ll be working with vulnerable individuals, many of whom may have experienced significant challenges in their lives, so the charity classifies this as a high-risk environment. There will be safeguarding issues to deal with. It’s a challenging, community-based role where you’ll be managing your own diary, working to targets, and juggling multiple priorities. Full training and ongoing support are provided, and while there is a high level of lone working, check-in systems are in place to ensure your safety. Being organised, resilient, and able to manage your own wellbeing is key.
Training:
Full IPS training provided, including online learning, shadowing, and ongoing support from your Team Leader. This is a practical, real-world role where you’ll gain direct experience supporting people with mental health needs, and a chance to build a career in the employment support space.
What We’re Looking For:
Either experience supporting vulnerable people (paid or voluntary) or 12+ months in a target-driven role (e.g. sales, recruitment, customer service), plus strong communication skills, empathy, and the ability to work independently.
Details:
Full-time, Mon–Fri (9–5). Community-based (no home working). Interviews: 18th May (in person). Start within 2–6 weeks from offer (not suitable for Sept starters).
