NHS Individual Placement and Support Cheshire & Wirral

What is Individual Placement and Support?

At Standguide we believe that finding and keeping meaningful employment can help you manage your mental health better. 

Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is an NHS provision that supports people with severe mental health difficulties to find and sustain meaningful paid work. Our IPS Employment Specialists work with individuals, treatment teams and employers to make sure that our service users are able to best manage their mental health while working. We also advise employers on how best to support employee mental health in the workplace.

This service is funded by NHS Cheshire and Merseyside and works with GPs and community mental health professionals to make sure that people with severe mental health difficulties can find and keep the right job to meet their needs and to support them in work to aid their recovery journey.
