“Shaw Trust promotes team spirit, inclusiveness and it is an organisation where everybody is somebody. I am proud to be part of this great organisation.”
Purpose
Work Well is a government funded programme that offers an early-intervention work and health support and assessment service. This provides holistic support to overcome health-related barriers to employment, and a single, joined-up gateway to other support services.
Work Well sits within our Community Health & Wellbeing division and is a growing part of the business and our wider employment support offer to our beneficiaries.
We work in partnership with mental and/or physical health clinical teams, GP practices and other referral partners who refer clients who are currently in employment but are experiencing difficulties in the workplace and require assistance to help them return to work, remain in work or find new employment. This programme will also support those who have fallen out of work to get the support they need to return to employment. That support will be tailored to their specific needs and circumstances.
We are looking for a Health and Wellbeing Practitioner who has a allied health background and robust experience of supporting people who have a wide range of physical and/or mental health conditions. This person will have the ability to engage with both the participant and the Work and Health Coaches to provide guidance on the best course of action to support a return to employment. The Health Practitioner will support on the more complex cases directly using their experience and knowledge.
They will be responsible for working as part of an Multidisciplinary team that will make decisions on the best way forward for new and existing participants, in collaboration with the participants needs and employment goals. This approach will require a joined up collaboration between multiple stakeholders, including and most importantly, the participants themselves.
