A qualitative study of the IPS employment specialist role in the context of Nav employment in Norway
IPS is anchored in Norwegian policy and several of the early intervention challenges are resolved. Our study provides increased understanding of the employment specialists job situation within the new IPS context in Norway. Employment specialists are "front-line-workers" in enacting the IPS principles, and their perspectives on the contextual change are crucial in the development of IPS.
