Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership are seeking a dynamic organisation(s), or partnership of organisations, to deliver Employability Services across the city. It is expected that flexible, culturally appropriate approaches will be used and that suppliers will demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of inequalities in Glasgow City. This should include barriers for people who experience multiple vulnerabilities, particularly people with mental health conditions and people with a history of problematic alcohol and drug misuse. The successful supplier(s) will work collaboratively with existing partnerships and, where appropriate, form new partnerships with a range of voluntary and statutory organisations. The aim of the service is to: -Promote and support recovery and increase access to employability opportunities for people aged 16 and over who have long term mental health conditions and people aged 18 and over who are in recovery from problematic alcohol and/or drug misuse. -To increase the number of individuals to move into employment and increase access to employment opportunities. -To provide access to local community services through collaborative working with a range of voluntary and statutory organisations.
Mental Health Employability aims to support individuals who have long term mental health conditions to achieve mainstream employment in competitive jobs part-time, full-time or in some cases permitted working hours. The model of supported employment has 7 key principles:- 1.Competitive Employment is the primary goal 2.There is no selection on the basis of ‘employability’ or ‘work readiness’ - everyone who wants to work is eligible for employment support 3.Job search is consistent with individual preferences 4.Job search is rapid – beginning within one month 5.Employment support and clinical health treatments are integrated 6.Support is individualised and available to both employer and employee but is not time limited 7.Financial inclusion is a crucial element which supports the person in the transition from welfare to work Additional information: The contract will be in place for 24 months with the option to extend for 2 x 12 month periods

Proposed activity should focus on maximising independence and deliver a set of outcomes that enable people in recovery from problematic alcohol and drug misuse to secure employment in the labour market. Service provision should include but not be limited to work preparation support and job retention support. Additional information: The contract will be in place for 24 months with the option to extend for 2 x 12 month periods
