OUTDOOR EDUCATION

Outdoor education complements traditional academic learning by offering hands-on experiences that
make learning more engaging and relevant. It involves activities that help students develop personal
and social skills, environmental awareness, and a sense of adventure through outdoor experiences like
hiking, camping, and team-building exercises. The goal is to engage students in real-world learning by
fostering a connection with nature, enhancing physical activity, and encouraging problem-solving and
critical thinking outside the classroom.

The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, which has been running worldwide since 1956, is a
prestigious and highly-prized,
internationally-renowned programme which enables participants’
development through a series of self-directed Skill, Physical Recreation and Voluntary Service
activities and an overnight expedition.

Participants are required to engage in activities in each of these areas, pushing their limits and
broadening their horizons. By completing these challenges, young people not only enhance their
personal development but also gain a sense of achievement and self-confidence that lasts a lifetime.

Our students enjoy taking part and it’s always exciting to see their personal de...

Make a real difference in your community

Are you passionate about helping people turn their work ambitions into reality? Do you believe employment can be a powerful tool for recovery and independence? If so, this could be the role for you.

We’re looking for a motivated, proactive IPS Employment Specialist to deliver high-quality, evidence-based supported employment using the IPS Grow model. This is more than a job, it’s an opportunity to build meaningful relationships, challenge stigma, and create lasting change. 

About the Role
As an IPS Employment Specialist, you’ll support individuals accessing mental health and substance misuse services to find and sustain paid, competitive employment that aligns with their interests, strengths, and goals.

This is a hands-on, people-focused role where no two days are the same. You’ll manage a caseload, deliver rapid job search, provide tailored in-work support, and champion the belief that employment is possible for everyone who wants it.

You’ll be embedded within multi-disciplinary teams, working closely with clinicians, substance misuse services (both young people’s and adult), and community partners across London. You’ll also play a key role in building strong relationships with local employers, opening doors to opportunities, and advocating for clients in real-world workplaces.

Full training and on-the-job support will be provided, making this an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop a career in employability, recovery, or the voluntary sector.

What You’ll Do
Using the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) approach, you will:

• Actively promote clients as potential employees and raise awareness of the service

• Promote the ethos of IPS and Waythrough, encouraging employers to see clients positively as applicants

• Proactively engage with local employers to create employment opportunities

• Facilitate work placements, work trials, and work experience

• Support clients through rapid job search and job applications

• Provide tailored in-work support to help individuals sustain employment

• Maintain accurate records, contribute to IPS Grow fidelity, and use data to improve outcomes

About You

You’ll be:

• Passionate about supporting people into meaningful employment

• Values-driven, proactive, and comfortable working flexibly

• Confident building relationships with employers and partner agencies

• Organised, outcomes-focused, and able to manage data and caseloads effectively

• Excited about making a tangible difference through employment and recovery-focused work
