The brief

The Advance team, within Opportunity Sheffield, is seeking to purchase individual places on an IPS Training course.

IPS (Individual Placement and Support) supports people with severe mental health difficulties into employment.

It involves intensive, individual support, a rapid job search followed by placement in paid employment, and time-unlimited in-work support for both the employee and the employer.

The five stages of the IPS process are: outreach and engagement, building vocational profiles, employment action plans, employer engagement, and developing follow-along support.

IPS is an evidence-based approach that places people accessing mental health services into long-term employment.

We are interested in all levels of IPS training.
