NHS WorkWell service

Sometimes health problems like stress, back pain or long-term conditions make it hard to stay in work or return to work. 

If you are finding this difficult, an NHS WorkWell coach may be able to help you.

Please look below to see if the service is ready in your area. Some places will start soon, so check back again later if it is not there yet.

To get started, speak to your GP or another healthcare professional. They can refer you to a WorkWell coach.

A WorkWell coach will listen to you, work with you to make a plan, and put you in touch with services that can help. This could include:

  • Support from other health services, such as pain or mental health teams
  • Advice on benefits, money and housing  
  • Help with talking to your employer or making changes at work
  • Links to local groups and community activities

You do not have to manage alone – support is available.

Select your local area below to see what support is available.
