Tender description

The Mental Health Commissioners in Kirklees (which consist of Kirklees Council, the NHS Greater Huddersfield Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS North Kirklees Clinical Commissioning Groups — the ‘Commissioning Partners’) wish to commission a Mental Health Employment Service, for people living within the boundaries of Kirklees Council who experience a range of mental ill-health issues. In this context the term ‘mental ill-health’ is inclusive of those with learning disabilities whose primary need is for mental health support, as well as those who may be experiencing dementia autism, Asperger's and hidden disabilities such as dyslexia or poor literacy. It is acknowledged that being in work is good for both general and physical health. The Service will provide opportunities to access and/or remain in open employment and will include service provision for those who will benefit from preventative support around their employment issues.
