Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (LLR) (GEM CSU LLR), on behalf of Leicester City, East Leicestershire and Rutland and West Leicestershire CCG’s is seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced providers for the provision of Employment Support for people with Mental Health problems.
The service will be a community based service, offering a range of employment support services for people with a mental health problem.
The Local Service model will cover:
— Enabling Service Users to formulate, achieve and sustain their vocational goals, in a supportive and empowering environment by delivering a range of evidence-based interventions, from pre-vocational, building skills and permitted work placements, to accessing paid work and job retention.
— Supporting Service Users to access mainstream training and education where relevant.
— Working with service users to increase self-efficacy, motivation and employment aspirations, and to not see their mental health condition as a barrier to work.
— Engaging with employers to:
(a) secure vocational training placements and employment opportunities for people with mental health problems and,
(b) manage employment issues, for example, increasing understanding of mental ill health, negotiating reasonable adjustments and facilitating access to occupational health.
— Involving service users and carers in the design, running and evaluation of services.
— To support the establishment and working of Peer Support group(s).
