Employment Support

The Employment Advice Team is an integral part of Talking Therapies, providing practical employment assistance to clients who are currently receiving or awaiting therapy. The support encompasses aiding clients in finding new employment, returning to work post-sick leave, and maintaining their existing employment.

The employment service is equipped to offer guidance on a variety of employment-related matters. For instance, we can:

  • Provide feedback and advice on CVs and cover letters
  • Assist with the completion of application forms and Job search
  • Offer support in preparing for interviews
  • Share insights on diverse job opportunities and offer guidance on identifying transferable skills for a career change
  • Assist in explaining gaps in employment history
  • Provide guidance on discussing convictions with potential employers
  • Help navigate discussions about mental health in a work environment
  • Offer preparation for return-to-work meetings
  • Explore reasonable adjustments to facilitate continued employment and much more

To be considered for employment support please ask your practitioner about this during your assessment with us.
