What is WorkWell?

WorkWell is a joint scheme from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC).

The aim of WorkWell is to connect people with health conditions and/or disabilities to local support services so they can get the tailored help they need to stay in or return to work.

WorkWell is an early-intervention work and health assessment and provision of light touch, low-intensity support service. It will provide tailored support helping individuals to address their work and health needs, and to overcome barriers to work. People will be able to access general help, support, information, guidance and connections to services via the telephone and can receive additional face to face work and health coaching if required.

It is a prevention service aimed to support those most recently out of work due to sickness to return to work, or those in work who are at risk of being signed off sick.

WorkWell is available for anyone who is:

  • 16+ years old
  • Lives or is registered to a GP in Herefordshire or Worcestershire.
  • Has the right to work within the UK
  • Someone experiencing barriers to employment due to health conditions/disabilities

WorkWell will support those who are in work, need support returning to work or are out of work up to 6 months who require early intervention due to facing health related barriers, however, we also link participants needing more complex support to return to work who have been out of work longer with services who can provide longer term support.

During an individual’s referral into WorkWell additional/alternative support needs may be identified that may also support individuals. WorkWell aims to act as a single point of access to an individual’s health related support needs. Services available for signposting may include:
