Not just stacking shelves

Supported employment programmes for people with serious mental health problems have sometimes been criticised for only helping people to get poorly paid, low skill jobs. Miles Rinaldi and colleagues followed up clients of the Kingston and Merton supported employment service run by South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust and found that the majority had found, or retained, jobs in a wide range of occupations and at a wide range of levels. Few working at entry level, ‘just stacking shelves’.
