Company: Leeds Mind
Salary: £30,660 to £30,660 a year
Hours: Full-time
Location: Leeds, LS18 4LB
Working pattern: Hybrid - 1 day remote
Job type: Permanent
Posting date: 22 Oct 2026
Closing date: 5 Nov 2026
As an employment Support Coach, you’ll work with people with severe mental health challenges, assisting them to find meaningful, long term employment. You’ll work with their clinical team to help find ways to break down barriers to working, and support them in taking the next steps in their career.
First and foremost, you’ll spend time in the community working with a caseload of 20 clients. We find the best results come from meeting face to face with job seekers, so you’ll spend time meeting in public places like coffee shops, libraries, or community hubs. Here you’ll work on CV support, interview coaching, helping to decide what roles would be best to apply for, and helping build action plans to make meaningful steps towards employment. You’ll support your clients through every step of their journey.
The rest of your time will be spend building connections with local employers. Whether it’s large employers with many opportunities, or the local butchers who have a team of 4. When looking for opportunities for our clients, it’s not the size of the employer that matters, it’s the opportunities they can provide.
This role does come with KPI’s. The two main ones are how many people you help into long term jobs in a year, and how many potential employers you connect with on a weekly basis. The numbers are realistic, and reflect the support needed by our clients to gain employment. You’ll be trained on how to track your progress on our internal systems so that we can feedback on our progress to the funders of this work.
