    Brief

    Barnsley Council is seeking qualified providers to deliver Individual Placement and Support (IPS) services through the Connect to Work programme. This specialist employment support service will help unemployed residents overcome significant barriers to employment through tailored, evidence-based interventions. Providers should have expertise in delivering intensive, personalized employment assistance including job coaching, workplace support, and ongoing employment retention services. The service targets disadvantaged groups facing complex obstacles to sustainable employment, such as those with health conditions, disabilities, or multiple deprivation factors. Successful bidders will need to demonstrate capability in rapid job placement, fidelity to the IPS model, and commitment to achieving positive employment outcomes for vulnerable populations.
