Be part of something new, innovative and truly life-changing. WorkWell is a pioneering service designed to bridge the gap between health and employment, helping people with physical and mental health conditions to move towards, stay in or return to work. As a WorkWell Coach, you'll empower individuals to overcome barriers, build confidence and achieve goals that matter to them.

This is more than a coaching role. You'll work alongside healthcare professionals, employment services, employers and community organisations as part of a multidisciplinary team committed to improving lives. Using a person-centred, strengths-based approach, you'll support participants to identify what is holding them back, develop personalised action plans and access the right services at the right time.

You'll provide ongoing coaching and mentoring, helping individuals develop confidence, resilience and work-readiness skills through activities such as goal setting, job searching, CV development, interview preparation and wellbeing support. Working in a trauma-informed and strengths-based way, you'll also connect participants with specialist services and community resources, advocating on their behalf where needed.

You'll build positive relationships with employers and partner organisations, supporting conversations around workplace adjustments and return-to-work planning. Alongside delivering high-quality, person-centred support, you'll manage your own caseload, maintain accurate records, monitor outcomes and contribute to the success and growth of this exciting new service.
