Get Set for Making a Difference to Peoples Lives
Get Set UK is more than just an employment services or training provider; were here to nurture potential and help people move towards a better tomorrow. We support people to make positive changes in their lives and believe people should be able to fulfil their potential, whatever their circumstances.
We will be delivering Individual Placement Support (IPS) within communities and neighbourhoods across Surrey. This uses a Place-then-Train approach to help individuals with physical disabilities, learning disabilities and those with neurodiversity needs into sustained employment.
This is a hugely rewarding role where you will use your skills to engage, support and mentor individuals with health conditions to secure sustainable and meaningful employment utilising the IPS approach, which has been proven to achieve high success rates. You will support your clients in the community, job coach at employers sites, build and maintain strategic partnerships with local businesses, and oversee your clients overall journey towards their employment goals.
And dont worry! If you have employment services experience but not specifically IPS then we can train you when you join us.
