About Us

Work Well is a network of nine employment support teams based across South London and Maudsley.

Our teams are embedded within clinical services, working closely with clinicians and therapists to improve the wellbeing and mental health of our clients.

Our mission is to support people in achieving their own career goals.  We believe everyone can work, and people should have choice about the type of work they want to do, and when to do it.

Our vision for the future is a society where everyone can work, if they want to.

Our values are:

• Person-centered: we don’t tell people what to do, we give them information so they can make their own career decisions
• Empowering: we don’t do things for people, we give them tools so they can do things themselves
• Inspiring: we don’t just help people find a job, we help them set long term career goals for the life they want to live

Who do you support?

We provide employment support to South London and Maudsley service users across the boroughs of Croydon, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark. 

We work with clients receiving support from primary and secondary care treatment teams and NHS Talking Therapies services.

Some of our teams also work with local employers, helping to create inclusive and equitable workplaces for people with mental health conditions across South London.

What services do you offer?

We provide a range of services:

• One-to-one employment coaching for South London and Maudsley service users
• A free recruitment and workplace wellbeing service for local employers (Employ Well)
• Free employment courses and webinars in collaboration with the SLaM Recovery College

Are you a mental health service?

No, Work Well is not a mental health service.  However we work closely with mental health professional at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, as our key priority is increasing wellbeing and improving lives.
