You have a QCF in Advice and Guidance (Level 3) or equivalent, plus a proven ability to work to policies and procedures, including confidentiality, safeguarding, lone working, information governance, and health and safety. Youd also like to be part of an organisation that counts on the professionalism, insight, expertise and passion of its staff to inspire individual recovery for the people they work with. Welcome to Waythrough as a WorkWell Coach.

WorkWell is an exciting new government/DWP initiative to get people back to work. As well as providing work placement support, it will also address and support any physical or mental health needs via a Mental Health Provider and Physical Health Advisor who form part of the team. The pilot in Surrey went live in December and aims to empower people to take control of their health, wellbeing and any impacts this is having on their employment via referral to a WorkWell Coach. Thats where you come in.

Working as a key part of the primary care network (PCN) and other community hubs, your challenge will be to provide a supportive environment that enables each individual to identify their health and wellbeing concerns and the impact these are having on their employment. That will involve taking a strengths:based approach, focusing on what matters to me and, together with the individual, producing a personalised and holistic support plan that aims to help the individual thrive at work. Well also rely on you to work alongside a multi:disciplinary team of physical activity, mental health and skills and employment advisors to provide direct interventions and connect individuals to diverse community:based support, thus ensuring they are able to maintain their health, wellbeing and employment in the longer term.

To succeed, youll need a good understanding of motivational coaching and interview skills, the ability to organise, plan and prioritise and a real commitment to develop. Familiar with office IT systems, you have good word processing skills and know how to use emails and the internet to create simple plans and reports. Just as important is a proactive and flexible approach plus the ability to listen to, and empathise with, people from all backgrounds and provide person centred support in a non:judgemental way. Put simply, youre committed to reducing health inequalities and able to support people in a way that inspires trust and confidence, thus motivating others to reach their potential.

In return for your skills and enthusiasm, this role comes with some really great benefits and excellent training and development opportunities.

The role is a hybrid role, predominantly working in the community and home based, with some expectations of office visit every now and again.

Due to the nature of the role, a driver and access to a car are essential.
