Be part of something new, innovative and truly life-changing. WorkWell is a pioneering service designed to bridge the gap between health and employment, helping people with physical and mental health conditions to move towards, stay in or return to work. As a WorkWell Coach, you'll empower individuals to overcome barriers, build confidence and achieve goals that matter to them.
This is more than a coaching role. You'll work alongside healthcare professionals, employment services, employers and community organisations as part of a multidisciplinary team committed to improving lives. Using a person-centred, strengths-based approach, you'll support participants to identify what is holding them back, develop personalised action plans and access the right services at the right time.
Every day brings variety, challenge and reward. You'll help people recognise their potential, take positive steps forward and achieve meaningful outcomes, while shaping a brand-new service that will make a lasting difference across the community.
Please note, this vacancy does not meet the criteria for skilled worker sponsorship. Therefore, we are unable to accept applications from candidates that cannot provide documentary evidence of right to work in the United Kingdom.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
As a WorkWell Coach, you'll provide tailored one-to-one support to a caseload of participants, delivering coaching face-to-face, online and by telephone. Through holistic assessments, you'll explore health, wellbeing, employment and social factors to understand each person's unique circumstances and co-produce practical, achievable plans that support their journey towards sustainable employment.
- You'll provide ongoing coaching and mentoring, helping individuals develop confidence, resilience and work-readiness skills through activities such as goal setting, job searching, CV development, interview preparation and wellbeing support.
- Working in a trauma-informed and strengths-based way, you'll also connect participants with specialist services and community resources, advocating on their behalf where needed.
- You'll build positive relationships with employers and partner organisations, supporting conversations around workplace adjustments and return-to-work planning.
- Alongside delivering high-quality, person-centred support, you'll manage your own caseload, maintain accurate records, monitor outcomes and contribute to the success and growth of this exciting new service.
