About this contract

It is an early-intervention work and health coaching and support service for people whose mental or physical health makes work a struggle. It offers light-touch, holistic, personalised coaching and support which is designed to prevent people from falling out of work because of health (or help them back quickly, before they become entrenched in health-related economic inactivity).
