WorkWell is a light touch, early-intervention service available to anyone aged 18 plus, working in Barrow with a health condition who:

• needs support to remain in work,
• needs support managing a health condition in order to return to work from a sickness absence.

Or living in Barrow with a health condition who:

• needs support to start work and has a health condition
• WorkWell is not suitable for individuals with complex health needs/conditions or who are long term unemployed.

WorkWell offers holistic support for their health-related barriers to employment.

The team of WorkWell Coaches offer individualised support for approximately 12 weeks. The WorkWell service also serves as a triage function, connecting participants into the rest of the local work and health infrastructure through signposting and referral.

In general, where there are needs or requirements of the participant that go beyond what can be offered by the WorkWell Service, we will connect them to whatever other local service they need and follow up to ensure what support they receive elsewhere is fully integrated into their strive-to-work or thrive-in-work plan.

The WorkWell service is running from January 2025 to March 2026, with referrals accepted up to 30th December 2025 to allow participants to be fully supported before the pilot closes.
