Brighton and Hove Recovery Service
Employment support (IPS)
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 - 65 and if you are in treatment at Change Grow Live.
To find out more, speak to your Recovery Co-ordinator or contact our IPS Team on [email protected] or 01273 731900.
