The training is for people whose roles involve providing information, advice and support to individuals and communities in Kirklees.

Free Training: Helping People Move Towards a Healthy Working Life

Do you work or volunteer in a role where you provide information, advice, or support to people about services and organisations that can help them move into work, move closer to work, or stay in work, particularly those whose health makes this more difficult?

If so, this free training session is for you:

🤝 Whether you work or volunteer for a voluntary or community organisation, or provide support within another organisation, we’d love you to join us.

🎓 The sessions will be led by the Kirklees Healthy Working Life lead from the ICB with support from TSL (Third Sector Leaders) and other partners.

☕ Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided!

📅 This session will take place at Brian Jackson House in Huddersfield on 3rd November. The training will also be held at Ravensthorpe Community Centre LTD in Dewsbury on 21st October. To book on to the session in Ravensthorpe, please book your place here:

What will we cover?

During the session, we’ll give you a friendly and practical introduction to the work and health support available across the area, including:

Community-based initiatives funded through Healthy Working Life.

Short presentations from services and organisations you can refer people into, including some real-life success stories.

New work and health support programmes that are starting soon, including Connect to Work and WorkWell.

Further signposting opportunities and information about what support is available.

Useful resources that you can take away and use in your role.

Time to share what you know too – including any services, projects or provision you’re involved with that could be useful to others.

Come along, connect and share!

This is a great opportunity to find out what’s available, meet others working in this space, build your knowledge and make useful connections – so that when someone you support asks, “What help is out there for me?”, you have a better idea of where to point them.

Everyone is welcome – if you support people who are looking for help around employment, we’d love to see you there!
