Barnsley Recovery Steps is dedicated to helping you achieve your career goals. Our outstanding Individual Placement and Support (IPS) team is among the best in the UK for job outcomes—and we’re not just saying that. They truly are experts in helping people find meaningful employment!
Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is a highly effective, evidence-based approach that’s recognised globally for helping people with substance use to find and maintain employment. The IPS programme is designed to help individuals secure paid work, often within just a few weeks of joining. But the support doesn’t stop there—IPS continues to assist both the employer and employee, ensuring job placements last as long as possible or helping the individual transition to a different role if needed.
IPS takes a personalised, strength-based approach, focusing on each person’s unique skills and building strong relationships with employers. It addresses the disconnection between mental health services and employment support by integrating employment specialists directly into community mental health teams. With eight key principles guiding the process, IPS offers tailored support to help people find the right job and stay employed.
IPS is designed to bridge the gap between recovery and employment by connecting people with the right specialists to support them in finding and keeping jobs they enjoy. If you’re looking to achieve your career goals and need support, Barnsley Recovery Steps and our IPS team are here to help.
