Sometimes people need a little help to get back on track, and with one-to-one support from a WorkWell coach, this increases your chances of returning to work sooner or prevents you from taking sick leave.
People who are absent from work due to a health condition, such as mental health, musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, or respiratory conditions often struggle to return to work after a period of sickness leave.

Eligibility criteria for the WorkWell programme is anyone aged 16 and over and has the right to work in the UK:
who lives in or is registered with a GP within the eligible areas (Slough, Surrey Heath, Farnham and North East Hampshire).
who is currently worried about how their health is impacting their ability to start, return to, or stay in work.
who is in work, needs support returning to work, or is out of work for up to six months, or is facing health-related barriers.
A WorkWell coach is there to help people improve their health and thrive in employment.
However, we also link individuals who have been out of work longer and need more complex support to return to work with services that can provide longer-term support.
