An American study has looked at the personal attributes required of successful supported employment practitioners. The study by George Tilsen and Monica Simonsen looked specifically at practitioners working with younger people in transition but many will feel that their findings are universal.

According to the report, four distinct attribute categories emerged from the data: (1) Principled Optimism; (2) Cultural Competence; (3) Business-Oriented Professionalism; and (4) Networking Savvy.

Supported Employment Qualifications

in

The supported employment sector has long recognised the need to professionalise its workforce. The SEN Green Paper Support and Aspiration: A new approach to special educational needs and disability and the Disability Employment Strategy have both reinforced the government’s commitment to supporting more disabled people to achieve employment. We now also have the agreed National Occupational Standards for supported employment.
