WorkWell
WorkWell is a joint initiative from the Department of Work and Pensions and the Department of Health and Social Care with the vision of a healthier and more productive nation. Surrey County Council are delivering WorkWell in Surrey in partnership with local providers of health, wellbeing, employment and skills support.
The aim of WorkWell is to provide a free, one-to-one work and health support service, helping people with health issues and/or disabilities to get back to work or remain in work by connecting them to local support providers.
People who are absent from work due to reasons such as mental health, Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions and respiratory reasons often struggle to return to work after a period of sickness absence.
One-to-one support from a WorkWell coach increases the likelihood of you returning to work sooner, or preventing you from going on sickness leave.
Skills Bootcamps
Skills Bootcamps are free, flexible courses of up to 16 weeks for Surrey residents. They enable you to gain new skills and fast-track your future.
With a guaranteed interview with a local employer on course completion, you could be giving your career a real boost!
For businesses, it’s a great low-cost way to upskill your employees with knowledge to help your organisation evolve and grow in the future.
