Employment support

If employment is part of your recovery, we can help. We believe everyone is capable of doing some work if they want to, and we will support you with this.

Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is an evidence-based service that matches people with work that they want to do.

Our support is available if you are aged 18-64 and in treatment at Change Grow Live.

To find out more, speak to your Recovery Co-ordinator. You can also email Kent.IPS@cgl.org.uk to refer yourself or for more information.

Visit our IPS page to find out more about our employment support services.
