All rehabilitation plans provided are individually tailored and non-adversarial.

Our report is then sent to the instructing party, along with our recommendations, costs and timescales for further treatment, on the same day the assessment took place.

Immediate Needs Assessment

Work related stress and how we worked with both the employer and employee to help a supervisor back to work.

A 36 year old departmental supervisor, had been experiencing difficulties with his role for some time, and eventually reported sick because of what he described as stress related issues.  

A simple slip at work affected an employee’s physical capabilities. We devised a graduated return to work programme to reflect the employee’s health limitations. A 41 year old male, employed as a Data Collector slipped on a wet surface and fractured his left wrist, during working hours.  

After a serious accident at work, We helped an employee to find a new career entirely. A male employee was hurt in an accident at work.
