- Engages directly with community employers to facilitate access to competitive employment opportunities as identified in the IPS Fidelity scale. Pro-active engagement with employers also incorporates communication and messaging strategies that aim to reduce the stigma of mental illness in the community.
- Coordinates client intake into supported employment services for the Mental Health Centre through methods such as liaising with referring clinical staff and the Case Manager, conducting intake interviews and coordinating and ensuring the timely assessment, entrance and orientation of participants.
- Conducts job development, direct marketing and job search activities through methods such as developing networks and links with community employers and negotiating job accommodations and workplace agreements.

Provides on-site job coaching to ensure orientation and on-going training for clients and Employers as required.
- Monitors client's progress on a continual basis through methods such as meeting with the client, revisiting goals, highlighting accomplishments, re-evaluating goals, communicating client progress to Case Manager and other members of the interdisciplinary team and ensuring client is meeting their goals and objectives.
- Provides education and support to Employers, the Case Managers and other mental health services providers on vocational rehabilitation and the Individual Placement and Support Model through methods such as sharing vocational rehabilitation principles and techniques, coordinating and presenting education sessions and participating in professional development activities in order to improve care through new practices.
- Participates in case, team and industry meetings and in-services by methods such as presenting relevant materials/topics to remain informed of practice activities, providing input on client cases as required and contributing to the Centre's initiatives.
