I thought my working days were over...
...but luckily I was given the support to start taking small steps...not pushed into doing anything, just helped to believe in myself a little more. I got help, got a job, and it’s changed my life.
Giving local people the knowledge and independence to create better lives for themselves and their communities through employment
We know everyone is different, that's why our service is tailored around you and your needs. We work with a range of people including health professionals, employment specialists and local community organisations to create a support package to help you find the right job, at the right time.
Work and Health provides support for those unemployed people with health conditions or disabilities. It is also designed to help those individuals who have been out of work for a long time as well as those who might need some specialist support.
What will you get out of Work and Health?
Key Worker
Your employment specialist will help you find a job and will ensure you get the advice, guidance and support you need to move into work at your pace
Online Support
Access to a digital service that allows you to do things your way. Accessible 24/7, you can schedule your own appointments at a time and date that suits you, join online courses that you know will benefit you, and look for jobs that match your skills. Digital support will be provided to help you navigate the hub
Free Learning
Take part in online health or skills training packages including fit club, back care and creating a CV. Or, join one of many face-to-face courses supporting you with anything from managing your health condition, setting up online banking, understanding your strengths or enhancing your IT skills
Flexible and Easy to Access

Physical and mental health support from our in-house qualified professionals, local community experts and specialist health organisations that we have built relationships with to ensure that you have access to a range of wellbeing support that best suits your needs
Specialist Support
Help with barriers such as substance abuse, addiction or rehabilitation. We can also support with issues such as housing and homelessness
Employer Relationships
Access to vacancies with local and national employers, who we can work with to explain your individual situation. Or, if self-employment is something you are interested in we can provide expert advice
Local Community Links
If we don’t specialise in it we will find you someone who does. Our local partnerships mean that we can put you in touch with the right people or work with your current support network to ensure you get an all-round service
