Job retention schemes have an essential role in a recovery orientated mental health service. This article looks at a job retention team (JRT) based in Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership Trust (AWMHTP). The JRT operates on a case management model, and offers a free service to people in employment currently experiencing mental health problems and at a risk of loosing their jobs as a result. The ultimate aim of the pilot is to develop a model for job retention services across the UK. Summarises findings from a qualitative evaluation of the project's first year of operation, from June 2002 to May 2003. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 of the 29 clients with whom the JRT had worked over the 12 months, 5 of their employers, 6 of their GPs and 2 case managers.
