WorkWell

Launched in October 2024, WorkWell is a programme designed to join up  employment and health support. It is a voluntary programme that will focus on early interventions, offering participants an expert assessment of their health and work related barriers. WorkWell will also provide advice and support to employers, triage, signposting and referrals to clinical and non-clinical support.

Through WorkWell, around 59,000 disabled people and people with health conditions across England will have the opportunity to access:

• An early-intervention work and health assessment service, with low-intensity holistic support for their health-related barriers to employment (such as employer liaison and work and health coaching)

• A single gateway into the services that are available locally to tackle their specific needs, e.g. healthcare professionals, community sector services, health promotion programmes, more intensive employment support, and much more.

The programme will offer low-intensity health and work interventions for people in work who are struggling due to a health condition or disability, those at risk of falling out of work, or those recently (6 months or less) unemployed and facing a barrier to return to work due to a health condition or disability. In West London, the programme has £3.8 million and 4000 places to deliver services in:  Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Westminster and Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
