Lot Information
Lot 1
Six (6) Employment Advisors (EAs) and one (1) Senior EA will provide practical advice and relevant interventions to assist clients to gain, return to or retain employment. EAs will work closely with NHS Mid Essex Talking Therapy clinicians to provide employment support to people with common mental health problems who are struggling at work, off sick from work or looking to find work.
This initiative is to ensure that Talking Therapies services are able to offer a combined package of psychological therapy and employment support to all Talking Therapies clients who need it & clients that do not require psychological treatment and only require employment support should be referred onto other employment support provision outside Talking Therapies. The Trust is looking for a company which has worked with Talking Therapy services and have experience with clients that are experiencing mild-moderate mental health issues.
HPFT is seeking to work with a partner organisation that can bring this knowledge and expertise and work within and alongside the NHS Mid Essex Talking Therapies Service.
This opportunity is being published on the Atamis e-procurement portal, reference number C223628.
