Mental health has become one of the biggest challenges for employees and employers and wellbeing within the workplace is becoming a prominent factor.

In January 2021, Champion Health found that 69% of a 2,099-employee sample experienced moderate to high levels of stress in general. Nearly two thirds (63%) experienced at least mild symptoms of anxiety and 58% of employees said they had experienced at least mild symptoms of depression.

Statistics like these led us to develop these in-house:

· Wellbeing Coaching – two x 3-hour webinars for coaches wanting to inspire people to be happier, resilient and aware of their emotional health

· Workplace Wellbeing – a 2-hour webinar for officers interested in minimising anxiety and stress in the course of their work

· Councillor Wellbeing – a 2-hour webinar to consider a range of tools to help deliver wellbeing for Councillors

· Corporate Mental Health Strategy – a 2-hour webinar for Councillors and officers to explore the role organisations can play in supporting employees

We are looking to expand our team of End-Point Assessors for the Revenues & Welfare Benefits Practitioner standard here at SW Councils. Ideally, you will be a qualified and experienced assessor, holding an appropriate assessment qualification (such as A1 or equivalent) and you will have a minimum of 3 years’ experience working in Revenues and Benefits in a training or supervisory role. We will provide full training and support on the assessment methods and use of our EPA portal and, for those without an assessment qualification, we can offer you the opportunity to gain one through us (Level 3 Undertaking End-Point Assessment).

We are a local government organisation, with an established role in the delivery of training and assessment. This is a growing area and is ideal for someone wishing to support future entrants into this occupational area. It is a flexible role, ideal for fitting around an existing job and is a great opportunity for your own professional development. It can be undertaken on a freelance basis or as an income generating opportunity for your service area.

The assessments are undertaken remotely so access to reliable IT equipment and an undisturbed location is required.
