Our Employment Specialists work in direct partnership with you to ensure support is comprehensive and tailored to the needs of each service user wanting to achieve paid employment. When you refer your service users to us, they&#8217;ll receive support to find paid work based on their goals and interests, and where required we negotiate hours, in-work support and working conditions with employers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We work with you to ensure our services align with each service user&#8217;s existing treatment plan. This ensures that our interventions help service users to continue their recovery journey while in employment, reducing the likelihood of conditions relapsing or deteriorating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Each of our Employment Specialist supports up to 25 service users at a time. These small caseloads mean our teams have the time to provide the tailored support needed for each service user. For the convenience of you and your service users we deliver on site in NHS sites and within the community. This means that we are easily accessible when you need us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>How we work with you<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Productive collaboration with our partners is core to Standguide\u2019s service delivery. To support your team and service users we will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-medium-font-size\">\n<li>Make initial contact with service users within 3 working days of your referral<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share information with you to keep you informed of service user progress<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Invite you into our sessions with service users if you wish, working around your availability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tailor our support to each individual&#8217;s needs, based on their goals and treatment plan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work with you to prevent disengagement from services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.standguide.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wordpress-file-update-19.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3050\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Our performance and quality:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In autumn 2022 our Cheshire NHS IPS service was assessed under the Fidelity Scale by IPS Grow, the national quality assurance body for IPS. We are delighted to have scored 119 out of a maximum 125 marks, graded as \u201cExemplary\u201d. This was the highest score awarded to any organisation nationally. We also received the \u2018Quality Mark\u2019 for high performance across key criteria, including number of participants entering paid employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"228\" height=\"221\" src=\"https:\/\/www.standguide.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Standguide-and-Cheshire-and-Wirral-Partnership-NHS-Foundation-Trust-Exemplary-Logo.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2184\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Our service has also been praised in The Big Book of Best Practice, page 33: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cwp.nhs.uk\/application\/files\/3916\/9211\/0909\/Big_Book_of_Best_Practice_2022-23.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Download it here:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">What our clinical partners say*:&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-medium-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;<em>We really do sing their praises&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-medium-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>&#8220;The Employment Specialist is distinctively good&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-medium-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>&#8220;They have slotted right into the team.
