User Employment Programme (UEP) Placement Co-Ordinator
-
Apr 2017 - Nov 2019
The User Employment Programme (UEP) is a programme set up to provide service users an opportunity to gain work experience , increase their confidence , build on / gain new skills and obtain a current work reference . I supported clients who may have had an interest in working within the NHS or local authorities to find a work placement to support with their employment goal . I gathered information on the type of role my clients would like , the experience they would like to gain , how far they are happy to travel etc . I then worked on sourcing a placement this can be with existing placement hosts or new managers . I went on to meet with that employer to discuss the support available to both my client and themselves . Throughout the placement the client is offered ongoing employment support and we met with the placement manager monthly to check in and update . In addition my role involved overseeing the HR processes around setting up a placement included organising ID checks, producing an honorary contract , DBS checks ( if required for the role ) and reference requests. Although the placements were unpaid the clients can often be reimbursed for travel and we ensured they were not financially worse off by engaging with the UEP . Often clients were offered opportunities off the back of their placement or they reported the experience from their placement gave them the confidence to find paid work . My role was to offer tailored employment support to that individual from start to finish employing the Individual Placement and Support ( IPS) model .
