Working Well - East Midlands

Working Well – East Midlands

Free advice and intensive support for people with long-term health conditions or disabilities – to find the right job, return to work after long-term sickness, or keep their current job.

Who is this service for?

Individuals with either long-term physical or mental health conditions, or disabilities that make gaining or staying in employment difficult.

Personalised one-to-one support is provided by a dedicated Employment Specialist who will help to overcome a wide range of work-related barriers, as well as in-work support for both the employee and the employer.

The Individual Placement and Support in Primary Care (IPSPC) initiative is part of the Working Well - East Midlands suite of targeted Employment Support and is UK Government funded via the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP).

Nottingham City Council are leading the programme, working in partnership with Nottinghamshire County Council and Derby City Council. Support is provided across each local authority area through the following experienced delivery providers:

• East Midlands Chamber – covering Nottingham, Broxtowe, Gedling
  and Rushcliffe
• Standguide – covering Derby, Mansfield, Ashfield, Bassetlaw and Newark & Sherwood

If you are:

• An individual interested in direct support,
