    Brief

    Wirral Borough Council is seeking a qualified provider to deliver the Individual Placement Support (IPS) services for the Connect to Work programme, part of the Liverpool City Region's broader economic inclusion initiative. This voluntary programme aims to reduce economic inactivity by offering tailored support to eligible participants based on their individual circumstances and needs. The selected provider will work with participants to help them secure and sustain employment through evidence-based placement and support services. Applicants should demonstrate experience in employment support, IPS methodology, and working with economically inactive populations. This is a contracted service delivery opportunity.
