Walsall has reached an exciting milestone celebrating its 100th WorkWell referral as it continues to make a positive impact on the local community. The initiative, run by Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, is dedicated to supporting individuals facing health-related barriers to employment, helping them regain confidence and find meaningful work opportunities.
WorkWell offers tailored support for people who are struggling to stay in, return to, or find employment due to health challenges. Through personalised goal setting, training, CV development, job search assistance, and in-work support, the programme has proven to be a valuable resource for those seeking stability in their professional lives.
Since its launch, WorkWell has empowered individuals by providing guidance on reasonable workplace adjustments, facilitating return-to-work plans, and boosting confidence through skill-building sessions. The achievement of 100 referrals is a testament to the effectiveness of the programme and the dedication of the Walsall WorkWell team and partners across the borough.
The milestone highlights the growing need for employment support services in Walsall, as well as the success of WorkWell in bridging the gap between health and work. The programme continues to welcome new referrals from professionals and self-referrals from individuals who meet the eligibility criteria.
