Warwickshire Skills Hub

The new initiative is set to support individuals across Coventry and Warwickshire with mental health or health-related barriers to find or retain employment.

• Return to or remain at work
• Find and access work
• Refer into and connect with various services in the area

Following a referral into WorkWell the participant will be contacted by one of our Journey Guides, who will complete an initial assessment.

• Personalised plan to achieve set goals

• Barrier-breaking workshops
