Job Retention Specialist

It’s hard to find work when you struggle with your mental health. It’s another story to remain in a job long-term. That’s where you come in.

As a Job Retention Specialist, you’ll parachute in when clients need you most. Maybe they’re on long-term sick because of their mental health. Perhaps they’re on a performance improvement plan because they’re burned out from masking. They could be part of a disciplinary process because they’re struggling in their role without reasonable adjustments that they should have in place. Whatever the reason, you’ll be able to provide vital support.

You’ll wear a lot of hats as a Job Retention Specialist. You’ll know what ACAS guidance is relevant, you’ll support employees in mediation meetings similarly to a union rep, and you’ll educate employers on best practice related to inclusion in the workplace.

Each person you support, you’ll support for a short period of time to deal with the issues they’re facing. To do this, you’ll use the LIFT-Model, offering time sensitive intervention and support.

You don’t need to have done this exact job before. If you’ve supported people in mental health, employment, advice, advocacy or a similar service, we would like to hear from you. You will be part of a friendly team, with the backing of your Team Leader every step of the way.
