2324-0076 Mental Health Employment Support Service

Islington Council and North Central London Integrated Care Board are looking to procure a Mental Health Employment Support Service that will provide specialist support to residents who experience mental health problems in Islington to obtain and maintain paid employment.

The service will deliver tailored mental health support that is effective and provides a positive experience within an inclusive community-based setting. The service will work collaboratively with other mental health, community, and universal services to realise the vision.

The specialist Mental Health Employment Support Service will work closely in partnership with, and complement, the council's in-house adult employment service iWork, and forms part of the wider Islington Working Partnership, a network of partners who support residents into employment.

The new contract will require a successful bidder to have access to premises, based in the borough, that provides an inclusive, welcoming community atmosphere.
