...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.’
Following the most recent government advice, and to prioritise the safety of our employees and customers, we have taken the decision to continue our services via telephone and online until further notice.
Our team will continue as normal but will be working from home. Appointments will still go ahead as planned, but they will now take place by telephone instead of face-to-face.
Please DO NOT attend our centres but DO make yourself available to receive a telephone call from your key worker at your booked appointment time.
If you need to contact your key worker, please contact them on their usual mobile number. For more contact details, please visit www.workandhealthnorthwest.co.uk for our team contact lists.
Thank you for your understanding and support to help keep everyone safe.

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.
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
Join us in one of our friendly, open office spaces or meet in locations where you feel comfortable such as a coffee shop, community centre or maybe even your local library
Wellbeing
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
Speak to your JCP Work Coach about the programme to see if it is right for you, or get in touch with us directly by completing this short form.
If you are successfully referred you will be contacted within 48 hours to arrange an appointment.
You will meet your dedicated Key Worker giving you both the chance to get to know each other. You will get the opportunity to explain your personal circumstances, your health conditions or disability, and chat about your hopes for the future. The more your Key Worker knows about you the better support they can provide.
Your Key Worker will coordinate everything for you, from recommending group workshops to arranging one-to-one support from our qualified health professionals. They can also suggest online courses, help you with your IT skills and even provide in-work support as and when you feel ready to move into work.
Work and Health is delivered across the North West in partnership with:
Ingeus makes sure people have the skills, support and behaviours to get jobs, gain independence and become productive employees
