How does it work?

We are passionate about creating equal and vibrant employment opportunities for people with learning disabilities, neurodiversity’s and mental health problems to find paid employment and allow talent to reach its full potential.

Every pathway to employment is unique, but the strong sense of achievement and independence will always remain the same.

We work with clients to identify a suitable employment pathway, with opportunities across a range of exciting sectors like hospitality, healthcare, leisure and logistics. Regular check-in sessions will help you to review your progress, and personalised training ensures you feel confident every step of the way.

Individual Placement and Support

We can help people experiencing mental health-related problems to find work to help aid their recovery. Employment is proven to have a positive impact on everyday life, improving self-belief and optimism for the future.

IPS Specialists bridge the gap between healthcare and employment, working with the employer and employee to sustain the placement for as long as possible, or to help the client into a different job.
