At Hestia, we are guided by our core values and are dedicated to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation. Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for an Employment Specialist to play a pivotal role in our Employment Services in Barnet.

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

We're looking for a motivated, people-focused Employment Specialist to join our IPS team and help transform the lives of people with mental health needs. You'll manage a caseload of up to twenty clients, supporting them to find, secure and sustain meaningful employment in line with the eight IPS principles.

You'll work closely with clinical teams, attend multi-disciplinary meetings, and build strong relationships with employers to create real job opportunities. From CV support and interview coaching to in-work retention, you'll provide tailored, person-centred guidance every step of the way.

What do I need to bring with me?

You'll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires as well as match our values and mission. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you're willing to learn. We also value lived experience of the areas we support, so if you feel comfortable, please do mention this on your application.

You will bring proven experience of managing a caseload of up to 20 clients, applying the 8 principles of IPS to support individuals to secure and sustain employment through both job search activity and proactive employer engagement. You will work collaboratively with clinical teams, external agencies and employers, contributing to a multi-disciplinary approach that integrates employment and mental health support. You will have strong job-sourcing skills, building and maintaining relationships with local employers and wider Pan-London networks to create sustainable opportunities for clients. Highly organised and administratively strong, you will confidently manage documentation, track KPIs and meet performance targets in line with NHS and Hestia protocols. You will take a client-centred approach, providing ongoing support to both clients and employers, including during job starts and long-term sustainment, while offering clear guidance on the impact of work on benefits. You will be self-motivated, adaptable and committed to professional development, able to manage your time effectively across community and clinical settings, maintain professional boundaries, and engage fully in ongoing IPS training and support.
