Employment Retention Specialist delivering person-centred advocacy and crisis support to help clients retain meaningful jobs.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I’m an experienced Employment Retention Specialist with a strong background supporting adults with mental ill health, physical disabilities, and neurodivergence. For four years at Employ-Ability, I’ve managed my own diary and caseloads while providing person-centred, holistic support focused on job retention.
My work combines comprehensive assessments, emotional support, advocacy, and clear communication between employees and employers. I act as a lead advocate for clients navigating formal workplace procedures, helping ensure fair and equal treatment through reasonable adjustments, and maintaining accurate records in line with GDPR and safeguarding standards.
I bring patience, creativity, and resilience—especially in crisis situations. I’ve also built strong partnership working with community mental health teams and multi-disciplinary agencies, and I continue investing in professional development, including Life Coaching, Trauma-Informed Coaching, and Understanding Autism.
