Change Grow Live are a charity dedicated to the belief that we can make a difference to our Service Users lives, offering support and respect in a safe environment, treating each service user as an individual and working with them to find the right treatment and care options.

Our core values are ‘Be open, be compassionate and be bold,’ and our team members apply these daily to achieve our mission of helping people change the direction of their lives, grow as individuals, and live life to its full potential.

We have an exciting opportunity for an Individual Placement and Support (IPS) Senior Employment Specialist with the skills and experience to lead a team of Employment Specialists to deliver a high fidelity IPS service, enabling Service Users to access and sustain paid employment as part of their recovery goals.

The IPS Senior Employment Specialist will manage a team of two IPS Employment Specialists integrated into the West Sussex Service.

The Senior Worker will ensure IPS service provision is delivered with high fidelity to the IPS model.

They will provide IPS leadership, supervision, training, caseload management, and role modelling of the IPS approach as part of the holistic recovery plan for people in structured treatment for drug and/or alcohol use.

You will be an excellent team player with the ability to build effective working relationships with a range of stakeholders including service users, commissioners, treatment service managers and staff, benefits agency staff, local employers and ETE providers.
