We are Hestia. We make a difference.

At Hestia, we are guided by our core values and are dedicated to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation. Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for an Employment Specialist to play a pivotal role in our Employment Service in Redbridge.

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

As an Employment Specialist, you will support people experiencing mental health challenges to find and sustain meaningful employment using the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) approach.

What do I need to bring with me?

You'll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires as well as match our values and mission. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you're willing to learn. We also value lived experience of the areas we support, so if you feel comfortable, please do mention this on your application.

We're looking for someone with excellent communication and relationship-building skills, who is passionate about helping people achieve positive employment outcomes. You'll be organised, proactive and able to manage a varied caseload, working effectively with employers, healthcare professionals and external agencies. Experience in employment support, IPS or working with people with mental health challenges is desirable, along with strong problem-solving skills, resilience, and a commitment to delivering person-centred support.

Our services users come from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds because it makes us stronger.
