About our Employment Support services
For many, having a job and being involved in the local community is important to mental wellbeing, with work (paid or volunteering), helping people to feel good about themselves.
At Working Well, we support clients on their Employment Journey. Our trained staff work collaboratively with clients to find training and other opportunities to build new skills and confidence, as well as support clients with finding and applying for roles that interest them. We work with clients at every stage including supporting them once they find the role that’s right for them.
We also offer our literature in a range of languages. To see all our service leaflets please head over to our resource page
