Buckinghamshire Mind

Bucks Mind: Building Futures Employment Support Service 

The Employment Service provides flexible support tailored towards each individual’s needs. We offer guidance and specific support through courses aimed at increasing confidence, CV writing and employment skills. 

 

What We Do 

Through one-to-one sessions, we work with you to make the most of your skills and talents and together we create an action plan, which includes aims and goals going forward. We link with a network of partners to provide training aimed at specific job-related skills as well as increasing confidence and self-esteem. 

  • We can provide support with CV writing, careers guidance, job searching, filling in employment forms and making job applications, interview preparation and advice with addressing the sometimes difficult issue of disclosure of previous illness. We can also help you search and apply for training and education placements and courses. 
  • If you are already in employment, we are able to offer ongoing support aimed at helping you to remain in your job. 
  • We can help you get in contact with ‘Access to Work’ and Citizens Advice and provide guidance around bringing up reasonable adjustments to a workplace.  
  • While our Employment Support workers can offer informal Mental Health support, we can also refer you to more professional mental health support within Bucks Mind.

  • Be over the age of 18 
  • Be living in Buckinghamshire (not Milton Keynes)
