Lot Information

Lot 1

Both central government and the NHS are increasingly recognising employment as an important route for people with mental illness to experience recovery and improved wellbeing. Employment of people in contact with secondary mental health services is a key indicator under the NHS and Adult Social Care Outcomes framework. Helping people find good jobs and stay in work is one of the key actions that ICS such as ours can deliver to ensure the best outcomes for our communities, while at the same time making the most effective use of resources. Tackling health-related worklessness can contribute in reducing health inequalities in local populations. The ICB is commissioning the IPS service to deploy specialists into community mental health teams and other secondary mental health services. The aim of this service is to deliver an integrated, evidence-based, supported employment service for people with mental health issues, based in secondary mental health teams. The employment specialist will work in close collaboration with clinical staff and any individuals who express an interest in employment to achieve an employment outcome. Additional information: NCL ICB wishes to extend current provision of Mental Health Employment Support Service - Individual Placement and Support (IPS) and Employment Advisors in Talking Therapies in the boroughs of Barnet and Haringey for 12 months. This will allow the ICB to plan for a procurement across NCL for 2026/27 onwards.
