Aim of service:
This service will help service users to find paid employment, and will work with service users and their employers to help them stay in work once they have found it.
What will be offered:
The service’s employment advisors will use their person centred planning skills to help service users achieve their employment aspirations, primarily by bringing them into contact with potential employers, but also by helping service users to find the education, training, or work experience they need to get the job they want. All work with employment advisors will be within the framework of the Care Programme Approach (CPA), and within a care plan developed by their care co-ordinator. Service users may expect to receive intensive support from an employment advisor for up to two years.
[New referrals]: Who is the service for and how to access it?

It will work with specific community mental health teams to avoid overlap with employment support services provided by Mind in Croydon.
