Employment Service

The Employment Service works in partnership with Mind in Bexley & Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust, to provide a Recovery & Well-being Service to people in the London Borough of Bexley, who are experiencing mental ill-health.

The Employment Service has evolved to incorporate the best parts of the Individual, Placement & Support model to provide a range of employment support. This focuses on clients accessing and retaining competitive employment, volunteering roles, training or educational opportunities.

The support from our employment specialists will offer a tailored service to the individual, but can include: A vocational profile – Looking at key skills, attributes, aspirations and difficulties you might face in employment. Focusing on what you can do rather than what you cannot do.

Training, learning and development opportunities within Re-Instate or partner providers. Including courses such as IT4work, Food Hygiene Level 1 & 2, and many more. Job searching and job club where we help on a 1:1 or in a group setting on how to complete job applications, cover letters and CV’s. Preparing individuals for work with our CV, interview skills. We also connect with providers to offer workshops such as financial support & general welfare information. Job retention for people who need support and advice to stay in employment and ensuring both the client and employer are supported to ensure a successful outcome.
