IN WORK SUPPORT
North, West and South West Wales.
Keeping you well at work
Prolonged stress or anxiety can leave us less able to cope with pressure and demands at work, affect our relationships with colleagues, and impact our decision-making. Mental health problems can also result in physical symptoms, such as headaches or back pain. Sickness absence can quickly take its toll, with financial worries often adding to health issues.
The In Work Support Service offers free and rapid access to confidential support and therapies including counselling, CBT and physiotherapy, to help you get back up and running. Our professional, one-to-one support can help you manage stress and build resilience, reduce anxiety, improve your physical health and make positive changes at work.
In Work Support is available free of charge across Wales for employees of micro, small and medium sized businesses (SMEs), funded through Welsh Government. RCS is proud to be delivering IWS in North, West and Southwest Wales
Who can we support?
The In Work Support Service is aimed at employees aged 16+ with mild to moderate physical or mental health conditions that are affecting them in work. You do not need a formal diagnosis to access our support.
The service is aimed at people who are self-employed or who work in small to medium sized businesses (with under 250 staff) where they would not usually have access to occupational health support.
In exceptional circumstances only, we may be able to provide support for a limited number of people employed within the public sector (eg NHS, local authorities, schools) or in companies with over 250 staff.
Where we deliver:
RCS delivers In-Work Support in Anglesey, Gwynedd, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Wrexham, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Swansea and Neath Port Talbot.

“I was able to get back to work almost immediately. I was given free physio treatment so quickly. Everyone involved seemed to really ‘care’. I cannot praise it enough.”
“I don’t doubt for a moment that I would not have been able to remain in work or resolve the issues as quickly without the support received.”
“Absolutely fantastic, fast service, I gained help at the time when I was struggling to cope. I received 6 free counselling sessions straight away, no waiting list”
Talking therapies
Our talking therapies are aimed at helping you manage stress, reduce anxiety and build coping mechanisms. We provide free and rapid access to a range of psychological therapies including counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy through our network of qualified and experienced professionals.
Physical therapies
Our professional physiotherapists and osteopaths offer treatment, guidance and exercises to address mild-to-moderate physical conditions that are impacting you at work.
Employer liaison
Considering disclosing a health condition to your employer, wanting to ask about changes to hours or duties, or raise concerns about roles or relationships at work? We can help you prepare for conversations with your employer, or can speak with them on your behalf.
Employment rights
It’s always good to know where you stand – we can help you access up-to-date information about your rights and entitlements at work.
Debt and finances
Money worries can all too easily add to the stress of taking time off sick. We help you access specialist support with finances or debt.
