WWTW’s Employment
Advisors are embedded in veteran supported accommodation residences or with NHS
regional veteran mental health teams, helping unemployed veterans to find
employment and rebuild their lives. Advisors build confidence, organise work
placements, source funding for any required training and ultimately assist in
securing sustainable employment.
WWTW has adopted
the Individual Placement & Support (IPS) model to assist UK veterans who
are unemployed and are also struggling with their mental health.
Our Employment Programme has been independently reviewed and shown to be three times more effective than our nearest comparator, with every £1 spent by WWTW achieving £3 in social benefit.
In
2018 and 2019 our IPS services in Essex and Greater Manchester were both recognised
as IPS Centres of Excellence for Veterans by the Centre for Mental Health. The award recognises the quality of IPS
service provided to veterans by WWTW in partnership with other local and
regional military and mental health organisations.

"Scott sorted out my accommodation and a job within an hour, he was amazing. I couldn't fault anything, it was a smooth process. I just wish I had known about the WWTW programme sooner".
"Alex went out of the way to help, really beyond excellent. I was proactive in helping my recovery but Alex and Mike Jackson House really helped."
