WorkWell is a new work and health service which began in North Central London (Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey, and Islington) on 1 October 2024.

As a work and health programme, it sits alongside other employment and health services within Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Islington.

The WorkWell service aims to support at least 3,000 NCL residents with health conditions or disabilities to enter, remain in, or return to work. It offers personalised support from Work and Health Coaches, access to services like physiotherapy and counselling, and advice on workplace adjustments.

The voluntary programme is open to anyone, regardless of benefit status, whose ability to work is affected by health conditions or disabilities. Participants must be 16 years of age or older.

WorkWell is needed: 1 in 5 people signed off work for more than four weeks do not return to work. The programme forms part of a broader strategy to integrate health and work advice at the local level, potentially reducing economic inactivity due to periods off work due to ill health and sickness.
