The North Cumbria NHS Work Well Service, part of the NENC ICB Health and Growth Programme, is a new initiative delivered by Cumbria Health in partnership with local support organisations. The service is designed to help people who are finding it difficult to remain in work, or who are off sick due to a physical or mental health condition.
We’ll support you to take control of your health and get back on track with your working life.
To be eligible for support through WorkWell, individuals must:
• Have the right to work in the UK and live within the North Cumbria.
• Have a long-term health condition and be either
– in work but at risk of leaving work, or
– out of work for less than 6 months
• Have a fit note within the last 6 months (not applicable if self-employed)
You’ll be matched with your own Work Coach, who will help you create a plan that fits your needs.
They’ll support you with your health, wellbeing, finances, and more, and can connect you with local experts for any extra help you might need, gently guiding you as you work towards returning to work.
