Supporting healthier working lives at scale.
Right Work For You is a developing approach, currently available as a working prototype, with potential applications across NHS organisations, Integrated Care Boards, local authorities and partners working on health, work and employment.
Right Work For You is a working prototype. We do not hold NHS contracts or endorsements and are not claiming proven outcomes — we're seeking partners to explore feasibility and evaluation.
Potential applications
Where Right Work For You could contribute.
We're interested in working with system partners where health, workforce and employment priorities meet.
NHS workforce retention
Supporting NHS organisations to have earlier, better-informed conversations that help experienced staff stay in work.
Health-related economic inactivity
Contributing to local efforts to help people with health conditions move towards, or back into, good work.
Supported return-to-work pathways
Complementing existing pathways that help people return to work after illness or time away.
Local and regional employment support
Working alongside local authorities, employment services and partners on place-based support.
Integrated health and employment
Supporting joined-up programmes that bring health, work and skills support closer together.
Pilots and service evaluation
Testing feasibility in defined settings, with evaluation designed in from the start.
Ways we could work together
Flexible models, shaped with you.
