Case Study 12 - Workwell Project Pilot based at Willenhall Primary Care Centre
As a Marmot city, Coventry has several programmes that focus on supporting our residents in education, training, and work; support fair and good employment, and support healthy workplaces.
Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board were successfully awarded grant funding to design and deliver a WorkWell service. The ICB funded a small-scale pilot project to inform the delivery model of the WorkWell service.
The pilot project is a targeted intervention for 10 people with low level mental ill heath to start, stay and succeed in work.
What our organisation did
The pilot project aims to support those with mental health conditions who are either unemployed or off work with a fit note to return to employment in a local area.
Referrals are directly received from the GP at Willenhall Primary Care Centre to the Employment Coach. The client is offered information, advice and support on well-being, employability, and, educational and skills courses available.
Successes
The pilot programme will be fully evaluated when completed; the findings will inform the delivery model for the new WorkWell service.
