WorkWell is a new service that’s supporting people with health conditions to find, stay or return to work. Our Work and Wellbeing team will be providing the service in partnership with South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA).
Last week, South Yorkshire’s Mayor, Oliver Coppard, and leaders from across Local Government and health came together at our Rockingham Street office to officially launch WorkWell. SYMCA was recently awarded more than £3.5m as one of 15 pilot areas across England to deliver WorkWell.
At the launch event, we listened to stories about the impact of employment support, and why this service is a priority for our region. It was also great to spend time with local people and partners that we’ll collaborate with on WorkWell. You can find out more about the event on SYMCA’s website.
Ruth Salvin, 45, has signed up to WorkWell. She is currently out of work due to health reasons and hopes the service will help get her confidence back.
