SOHAS Carers Project and Workplace Wellbeing Service helps Sheffield residents return and remain in work

Sheffield Occupational Health Advisory Service (SOHAS) has two fully-funded services available to people across Sheffield.

SOHAS is an independent workplace health charity that has been supporting the health and wellbeing of Sheffield residents for many years. More information about the two services are below:

Carers Project

The Carers Project supports unpaid carers who are looking to return to employment. The project is available to carers aged 16 and over (provided they are not in full-time education), who live in Sheffield and are not currently participating in the Restart Programme.

Participants receive personalised one-to-one support, including:

  • Job coaching
  • CV writing and application support
  • Interview preparation
  • Benefits guidance
  • Advice on reasonable workplace adjustments
  • Support to access part-time, full-time, freelance and apprenticeship opportunities

This project is helping carers overcome the barriers they face when returning to work and provides practical, tailored support to build confidence and achieve sustainable employment.

Workplace Wellbeing Service

The NHS-funded Workplace Wellbeing Service is available to anyone who lives or works in Sheffield and is currently in employment.

The service offers confidential one-to-one wellbeing sessions with a qualified medical professional, helping people to remain healthy and in work. Support includes:

  • Workplace health and wellbeing
  • Returning to work following sickness absence
  • Work-life balance
  • Employment rights and employment law
  • Health and safety in the workplace

With increasing pressures on both employers and employees, this service offers early intervention to help individuals stay in work, improve their wellbeing, and reduce the impact of work-related health issues. Both projects are completely free to eligible participants.
