Part of a wider ‘Ecosystem’ comprising Personalised Support Service, Skills for Employment and the Mental Health Talking Therapies Service
Personalised- Key Worker approach: the Key Worker is the single point of contact for the client and supports the client journey by developing the action plan
Integration – The Personalised Support Service will have to access a full range of services and provide bespoke packages for clients to ensure that their personal barriers to employment are tackled comprehensively and in an integrated and sequenced way
Linked in to Local Authority Services through Local Lead and integration boards, supported by local services that can “wrap around” the individual
80% of clients will be mandated to first appointment, all other appointments are voluntary
PSS is the “linchpin” for the client journey, through assessments and diagnostics, PSS will be able to make appropriate referrals into health and skills support
Clients may be further from the labour market and require specialist support to move forwards
