How to get in touch:
Working Win is a free service, which aims to support you if you have a physical and/or mental health condition and would like to find meaningful employment or stay in your current role. We also provide you with ongoing in-work support in both your new or existing role.
We follow a model of support called Individualised Placement Support (IPS) which is an evidence-based approach that is found to be twice as effective as traditional employment support.
A dedicated Shaw Trust Employment Specialist will work with you to provide you with a bespoke service tailored to your preferences and choices and help you to identify employment goals and create a realistic employment plan.
Through your journey on the programme, you will be supported by the Employment Specialist, who will create a personalised approach with you to help you gain paid employment and then provide ongoing in-work support, also by looking at what adjustments and assistance you might need from an employer. This will enable your new job role to be successful, to develop you in work and enable you to maintain your health and wellbeing.
If you are already in employment, when joining the service, your dedicated Employment Specialist will provide you with individualised tailored support to help you overcome employment barriers and support you to remain or return to your job role.

What the organisation does:
Further information:
Who do we work with?
Working Win (delivered by Shaw Trust) will work with anyone who is 18+ living in South Yorkshire that has a health condition or disability (including those who have self-diagnosed).
We work with people that have the right to access public funds and are not currently on any another funded programme (such as JETS, Restart, Work and Health Programme, etc).
How to Join us?
Our service is entirely free,. You can be referred by a health professional, JCP Work Coach.
You can also self refer via the website, phone number, or email address listed above.
What areas of South Yorkshire do we cover?
We cover all of South Yorkshire as we have teams in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley. So you can be met in your local area.
Where and how do we support people?
We support people on a 1:1 basis meeting them in their local community at a mutually agreed upon location. This is often libraries, community centres, or coffee shops.
We can also provide support via teams or telephone but we find that we can achieve more together when we meet you in person.
Can we offer support to employers?
Yes – we can work directly with employers to support their employees in returning to or remaining in work. We can also help to support them with their recruitment needs.
We have contacts within our wider organisation who can also offer training and support.
