Description

Individuals with a substance dependency often have the most complex needs. Without specialist intervention, many are unable to overcome barriers to recovery and employment. Individuals are often unwilling to disclose their dependency to Jobcentre Plus (JCP) Work Coaches due to denial, shame, or fear that they will be sanctioned in some way. Other individuals with a dependency may not be engaged with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (the Buyer) at all. As a result, individuals are not able to receive the help and support they need to overcome the addiction and move towards or into work. The Buyer sought to run a new Peer Mentoring Trial, with Peer Mentors using their lived experience of addiction and recovery to inspire, motivate and support others to manage their dependency, access appropriate support (including treatment, Universal Credit, housing services) and move towards employment. All interested Suppliers needed to be accredited on DWP's Test and Learn Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) under the Peer Support service line: - DWP Test and Learn DPS: how to register and apply - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk); DWP Test and Learn Dynamic Purchasing System: guidance for businesses - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
