A news story
Programme | 01 October 2025
Today, we are hosting an event at our Basildon office for our employees and partners to celebrate the launch of IPS Work Your Way, a service supporting people aged 18+ with mental health conditions in Greater Essex, Southend, and Thurrock to find and keep meaningful, paid employment.
The new contract will run until August 2028, in partnership with Essex County Council and the region’s Integrated Care Boards
Living with a mental health condition doesn’t mean giving up on work. Through IPS Work Your Way, participants receive tailored support to explore the type of job they want, apply for secure paid roles, get clear advice on earnings and benefits, and access ongoing in-work support, all while working closely with their mental health team to move forward with confidence.
We’re proud to be joined by our partners, NHS England, Essex County Council, IPS Grow, Mid and North East Essex Mind and Inclusion NHS, as we launch this important service.
Together, we’re breaking down barriers, creating opportunities, and shaping brighter futures for people living with mental health conditions.
