About Us

Building on the foundation of a powerful mission, ADS Employment Services is driven by a profound commitment to empower individuals, including those navigating their career paths and those facing mental health challenges, to secure meaningful and sustainable employment. This dedication is deeply rooted in the extensive experience of our founders within the Work & Health Programme across North and East London. Their direct involvement and proven success in implementing the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model, coupled with a strong understanding of the recruitment landscape, has been instrumental in guiding over 400 individuals into fulfilling careers.

This wealth of firsthand experience our founder Aytun D Soyel has provides ADS Employment Services with a unique and insightful approach. We understand the diverse barriers and opportunities that exist for individuals at various stages of their career journey, including those navigating mental health challenges, in the employment sector. Our founders' journey has equipped us with a deep understanding of best practices, effective strategies, and the crucial elements required to foster genuine and lasting career success for everyone we support.

At ADS Employment Services, we go beyond traditional employment support. We leverage the principles of IPS for those who would benefit, focusing on individualised support, rapid job search, and integration with mental health treatment where relevant. Our approach is person-centered, recognizing the unique strengths, aspirations, and needs of each individual we serve, regardless of their background or current career stage. We work collaboratively with participants, mental health professionals (when applicable), and employers to create supportive and inclusive pathways to employment for all.

Our track record of supporting over 400 individuals into fulfilling careers is a testament to the effectiveness of our approach and the passion of our team. We are driven by the belief that meaningful employment is a vital component of well-being, offering not only financial independence but also a sense of purpose, belonging, and increased self-esteem for everyone who achieves it.

As ADS Employment Services continues to grow, our core mission remains unwavering: to be a leading force in enabling all individuals, including those with mental health challenges and those just starting out or seeking new directions in their careers, to achieve their employment goals and lead more fulfilling lives. We are committed to continuous learning, innovation, and building strong partnerships to expand our reach and impact within the community.
