Summary

About us
Changing Lives is a nationwide charity helping people facing the most challenging of circumstances to make positive change - for good. We believe that everyone deserves a safe home, a rewarding job and a life free from addiction or abuse. We know that given the right support, anyone can change their life for the better.

Our services across the country help thousands of people each year who are experiencing a wide range of complicated challenges, including homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction, unemployment, involvement with the criminal justice system, sexual exploitation and domestic abuse. By focusing on their strengths, potential and opportunities, we support the people we work with to overcome their problems and live safe, successful, independent lives.

Our charity is powered by over 600 passionate colleagues who bring a diverse and inclusive environment for our colleagues to grow. We are proud to say that many have actual lived experience of the challenges faced by those we support. We are looking for committed and compassionate professionals to join our team, who share our enthusiasm for changing lives.

About the Service - Employment Services
Gaining employment is a massive step. We understand that people have low self-esteem and lack confidence in their abilities and we are here to help people reach their potential and achieve their goals. Our Employment Services offer tailored support and guidance to bring people nearer to and into work. Our package of support equips people to consider work as an option or to access training, education and volunteering. We support with CVs, interview skills, work experience to help people work towards the career they want.

About the Job
You will manage a team of IPS Employment Specialists, whose role is to support people in structured treatment for drug and/or alcohol use to assist them in securing sustainable, paid employment in line with their preferences.

IPS is an internationally recognised supported employment model that adopts a place then train approach and a principle of zero exclusion. You will work as part of a community of a drug and alcohol treatment provider, maintaining positive and integrated relationships, fostering a holistic approach to recovery through employment.

In addition to management responsibility the role involves developing relationships with employers to ensure the people we support can capitalise on the development of employability skills and progress towards the labour market. The post holder will establish employer links and organise employer-focused events and interventions in key vocational sectors working closely with partners to ensure complementary service provision.
