MSK Trailblazer

MSK Trailblazer is an intensive six-month employment support programme delivered by Shaw Trust on behalf of West London Alliance, and is designed to empower individuals living with musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions across West London.

It is 1 of 8 Government- backed trailblazers under the “Get Britain Working White Paper” with £9.1m invested to support 1,200 economically inactive people living with MSK conditions to gain employment.

This innovative initiative brings together health and employment services to deliver truly holistic support, helping participants move closer to the job market or into sustainable employment that accommodates their health needs.

Each participant benefits from tailored guidance provided by a dedicated Health and Employment Specialist, alongside expert input from a physiotherapist. Together, they work to ensure that employment goals align with physical wellbeing—maximising outcomes and promoting long-term success

The West London Alliance in partnership with NWL ICS covers Ealing, Barnet, Harrow, Hillingdon, Brent, Hammersmith and Fulham, Hounslow, RBKC, and Westminster Local Authorities. The service will be delivered by Shaw Trust.
