About us

Work Well is a network of 10 teams providing support for people using South London and Maudsley services in Croydon, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark.

Our employment specialists are based in mental health services and work closely with healthcare professionals. Our aim is to help improve your mental health and wellbeing through work.  

How our employment services work

All our services offer one-to-one employment coaching that’s tailored to your needs.  

You will work with an employment specialist who will empower you to make the decisions that are right for you. 

Most of our services follow one of two employment support models: 

Individual Placement and Support (IPS)

Our Individual Placement and Support teams:  

  • support people receiving care from a secondary care mental health service, such as a community mental health team or inpatient ward  

  • are zero exclusion – this means that anyone 18 or over who wants to work can get help, no matter your diagnosis or how unwell you are

NHS Talking Therapies Employment Support

  • support people aged 18 and over getting help from an NHS Talking Therapies service  

  • provide help from an employment specialist who will work with you to create a personalised plan to help you find or stay in work  

  • work closely with therapists to make sure the help you get supports your mental health recovery
