Developing Effective Employer Engagement in your Team

We are excited to announce a brand new training programme funded by NHS England and developed by Centre for Mental Health, Social Finance and IPS Grow.

Are you a team leader looking to develop your team’s skills in employer engagement?

Are you looking for ways to motivate your team to go out and meet local employers?

This training is designed for team leaders and senior employment specialists and will provide you with the tools to grow your team’s skills and confidence in how they approach employers and build relationships in order to make the perfect job match. The training will explore techniques used in mentoring and coaching to help you develop your team’s approach to employer engagement.

This 3-part training programme will cover:

1. Live-online course:

* What prevents an employment specialist from doing employer engagement and how to overcome this
* Gaining buy-in from your team
* Techniques to help your team engage with employers
* The psychology of engaging and influencing employers
* Mentoring and coaching your team to create employment specialist champions
* Why we do employer engagement

2. A half-day in the field:

* You will practice the techniques of employer engagement, mentoring and coaching, guided by an expert trainer.

3. Action learning session:

* Reflect on the training and to work through challenges, devise solutions and share successes of the training programme.

Eligibility and how to apply:

You will need to be a team leader or senior employment specialist in an NHS trust delivering an IPS service for people in secondary mental health services. This training is open to both NHS staff and third sector providers. This training is not aimed at employment specialists and is not currently available for OHID funded drug & alcohol IPS workers as they are not funded by NHS England.

As this training is funded by NHS England there are no costs to your service to attend.

Training cohorts begin September and we are accepting applications now.
