Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust - Thrive Into Work

Do you have a health condition and would like support to find and/or retain employment?

The Thrive into Work team can offer one to one support to suit your needs and employment goals. The team covers the West Midlands area and can not only support those individuals that are out of work, but can also support those who are in work but are at risk of losing their job or are on a period of sick leave.

The service is for people with a health condition or disability who are registered with a GP and are aged 18+ at the time of referral. This also includes neurodiverse conditions such as Autism, Dyslexia, ADHD etc. Health conditions do not need to be formally diagnosed and can be self defined.

If you want to join the Thrive into Work service, you will get:

• One-to-one support to suit your needs and employment goals
• Support from your health care team to help you manage any difficulties
• Advice on benefits to find out if being in work could increase your income
• Help with finding a job if you are not in paid employment
• Continued support once you have started in a job
• Help talking to your employer about your needs at work
• Regular and ongoing support online or by phone
•  

You can get this support if:

• You are currently out of work, or at risk of leaving work due to sickness
• You are aged 18 or over
• You have problems finding work, or staying in a job, because of your health condition.
• You are registered with a GP
