Connect to Work Administrator (Data)

Connect to Work is a new, voluntary supported employment initiative funded by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). It is the first major element of the Get Britain Working Strategy and will take a collaborative, locally led approach. It will:

• Connect local work, health, and skills support using a "place, train, maintain" model
• Target "hidden unemployment" and disadvantaged groups
• Deliver IPS (Individual Placement and Support) and SEQF (Supported Employment Quality Framework) interventions with high fidelity to national models
• Ensure equitable access through a zero-exclusions approach
• Support at least 3,738 residents of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough between 2026 and 2030
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) acting as the Lead Authority and Accountable Body and have appointed Cambridgeshire County Council as Prime Provider to manage delivery across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough and work strategically across the region to appoint a consortium of Delivery Partners, who will deliver the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) and Supported Employment Quality Framework (SEQF) models of supported employment to high levels of fidelity. IPS - Individual Placement and Support, is an intervention which integrates employment support alongside primary and secondary health services and other support services. SEQF - Supported Employment Quality Framework, intensive supported employment for people with learning disabilities, autism, and complex barriers. SEQF is a more intensive intervention, where in delivery terms the Participant will receive more contact and support from their Employment Specialist. Both models follow fidelity scales and evidence shows higher fidelity delivers stronger employment outcomes. We will also work effectively with a wide range of partners and stakeholders who are operating in local areas, to provide therapeutic and holistic wrap-around support for participants. Effective employer engagement will be key to the success of the programme., You will provide data and administrative support to team members of Connect to Work. This will include creating and maintaining accurate data records including PRaP, other Management Information systems, and supporting our Data Lead, to enable the team to deliver a customer focused service more effectively and efficiently., Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy, along with our employee network 'IDEAL' and self-organised peer support groups help us to foster an inclusive, supportive and safe working environment where people feel valued, respected, and empowered. We collect relevant diversity data for monitoring as part of the recruitment process to understand the diversity of our applicants and monitor any trends throughout the recruitment processes so that we can take meaningful action.
