NHS WorkWell Newcastle

Is your health making it hard for you to work?

Sometimes health problems make it hard to stay in work - or get back to work. If you are finding it a struggle, an NHS WorkWell coach can help.

Support for you

WorkWell Newcastle is a free NHS service.

A WorkWell coach can listen to your needs, make a plan and put you in touch with services to help. You don't need to manage alone.

We can help you with things like:

  • Getting fitter and healthier
  • Mental health and pain
  • Money, benefits or housing
  • Talking with your employer
  • Alcohol or drug problems
  • Counselling

Our service is for adults in Newcastle who:

  • Are struggling to stay in work because of health problems
  • Are not working because of health problems
  • Have a fit note in the last six months
  • Live in the area and have the right to work in the UK
