Description
The procurement is divided into 3 lots:
Lot 1: MENTAL HEALTH IPS EMPLOYMENT SERVICES for Barking, Dagenham, Havering, Redbridge (BHR) & Waltham Forest ICB.
Overview
There is a requirement for both BHR & Waltham Forest to provide an Individual Placement and Support (IPS) Employment Service to assess and offer support to unemployed mental health service users with the aim of supporting them in work.
IPS Employment Specialists to be integrated within the local Community Recovery Teams to provide IPS employment support to Service Users with Mental Health Conditions that are unemployed to move into paid work.
Aims and Objectives
It is widely accepted that good employment is generally positive for a person's mental health, including those who have a mental health condition. Work supports and promotes social and economic inclusion and enables a person to be more independent and therefore have more control over their life, all of which have been identified as protective factors of mental wellbeing. For this reason, it is widely acknowledged among professionals that the longer people are absent from or out of work, the more likely they are to experience depression and/or anxiety. Therefore, the aim of this Mental Health employment service is to support people to gain appropriate employment.
Lot 2: Mental Health Individual Placement Service and Employment Support Service in Newham
Overview
The overall vision for the service is to enable people with complex mental health issues to be able to enjoy a good quality of life, reduce health inequalities, remain independent and in control, achieve paid employment, and support each individual's recovery.
This will be achieved via the implementation of the evidenced based IPS employment approach to increase access to paid employment for people with complex mental health problems accessing secondary mental health services.
IPS Employment Specialists will be integrated within the local Primary Care Network (PCN) Mental Health Teams and Borough Based Secondary Care Teams to provide IPS employment support to Service Users with Mental Health Conditions that are unemployed to move into paid work.
