Help! Work rehabilitation schemes/employers who allow work from home

[phoenixred 10]

Hi everyone,

 

I am in need of your assistance!

I was wondering whether anyone knows of any organisations in Sheffield who work with people with medical conditions to gradually build up their activity and working hours, as a kind of back to work rehabilitation type of thing? Preferably ones without a minimum number of hours. I really want to be able to work but I would need it to be this type of thing so as to not make my medical condition worse and for my body to adjust to the activity. If anyone knows of anywhere that does this I would be extremely grateful.

 

I think I found one once based around Hillsborough way but I am unable to find it again now.

 

Thank you very much.

Try phoning Remploy.

I know there have been a lot of changes, a lot of cuts so I'm not sure what they do now but worth a call as a starting point.

Haven't you heard the news Remploy is going out of business due to cuts in Government funding.

 

My company helps get unemployed people back into work. Try ESCADON.

I saw Remploy cuts on the news at Christmas but it didn't say they were closing, neither does their website.
