That's a shame that your care team don't support you looking for paid work. Maybe you could discuss with them what sort of work might suit you, and how you could be helped to stay well in it?
I do one evening a week paid work at my church. This suits me well because they know I've had problems and it is very low pressure.
Mostly I do volunteering though, but I try to volunteer specifically for things that will be useful in the future career I want. I might not be able to manage paid work just now, but in a few years I will have a much better CV for the career I want than someone who had just had to take any paying job they could find.
