The Working Well Work and Health Project
Work and Health Programme
The Working Well Work and Health Programme provides support for unemployed people with health conditions or disabilities. It’s also designed to help those individuals who have been out of work for a long time, or those who need some specialist support.
Other alternate criteria for referral are:
• Carer or ex-carer • Ex-offenders • The homeless or at risk of homelessness • Ex-HM armed forces personnel and their partners • Care leavers • Refugees • Victims of domestic violence • People experiencing drug and alcohol dependency or previous addiction that is a barrier to work We’re passionate about giving local people the knowledge and independence to create better lives for themselves and their communities through employment.
We work with a range of people throughout Greater Manchester, including health professionals, employment specialists and local community organisations to create a support package to help you find the right job, at the right time.
You can join the Working Well Work and Health Programme by contacting your JCP Work Coach to refer you to the programme or by visiting our website for more information.
Once you’ve joined the programme you’ll meet your own dedicated Key Worker and talk through your own circumstances. Your Key Worker will help you address any barriers preventing you from returning to work and will coordinate any support needed for you, from recommending group workshops, to arranging 1-1 support with our qualified health professionals.
We can also offer support for other areas such as skills, health, housing, finance, and local government services etc. When you feel ready to move into work, we also provide In-Work support.
