The Health Led Employment Trial

Do you have a health condition and would like support to find and stay in work? 

The Health-led Employment Trial is an experimental trial testing a new employment support service for people with a health condition. The trial aims to find out how good this new service is at helping people to find and stay in work, and is now live.

What is the service we are testing? 

• One-to-one support to suit your needs and employment goals
• Working with your health care team to help you manage any difficulties
• Help finding a job if you are not in paid employment, and continued support once you have started
• Help to continue working if you are struggling to manage your health condition at work
• Benefits advice to find out if work could increase your income
• Help talking to your employer about your needs at work
• Meetings over the phone or in person at a location that is convenient for you

How does the trial work? 

The Health-led Employment Trial is a randomised control trial, meaning people who take part will be randomly placed into one of two research groups. One group will receive the new service and the other group will be provided with information about existing services in their area.
Who is the trial for?

• People with a mental health and/or physical health condition
• People who are out of work and want to work; or working and want support to continue working
• People registered with a GP in South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw
• People aged 18+ at the time of referral
