WorkWell is a health and employment support service providing integrated holistic early help for people with health-related barriers to work. WorkWell is aimed at anyone with a disability or health condition who is in work or who could move into work with the right support. Support is voluntary and open to people whether they are in work or not, and regardless of benefit entitlement. People can be referred or signposted via their GP, local Jobcentre Plus, employer, other local services, or can self-refer.
In North Tyneside the WorkWell service is being led by the Working Well employment team at North Tyneside Council. There is further Musculoskeletal and Mental Health Support people can access through WorkWell. If you would like to access the further support or want more employment support information find access information to Working Well here.
Within TyneHealth we are running the Musculoskeletal support through Community Assessment Days that bring together a wide range of support for people. This includes physiotherapists, pharmacists, health check lite, Citizen’s Advice and more to provide a one stop shop for your problems and queries. You can access this through the Working Well team outlined above.
