Supporting individuals to manage and overcome health barriers, enabling them find and keep a job if they are out of work.

The service is provided through the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and via two programmes; Work & Health and Restart. We provide expert employment support to main Prime Organisations helping the Government to deliver these programmes and indivduals to change their lives for the better, by finding sustainable employment.

Occupational Health Assessments

Our nurse-led team of health care professionals provide a telephone-based service across the United Kingdom. We help participants manage their health conditions and identify their physical capabilities.

An in-depth report enables employability coaches to better understand the participants health and capabilities and how best to support their return to employment.

The service is funded by the DWP meaning there is no cost to the participants or potential employers.

Working directly with the participants, our nurses and occupational health specialists provide information from our digital Health Knowledge Bank, sign posting to local support services, and self-help tools for health promotion.

The service is recognised for its specific focus on; physical health, mental health and neurodiversity. We provide invaluable support and guidance for participants suffering from a wide range of health problems that would otherwise result in lengthy waiting times for NHS services.

To get referred, individuals should ask their employability coach if they are eligible. If they don’t have an employability coach, they should go to the local Jobcentre Plus and ask to speak to an employability coach about the Work and Health or Restart Programmes.
