Case Studies
Jessie has worked for a large organisation for a long period of time and
had two periods of long term sick leave in a 2 year period. Jessie was placed
in a new role she had no experience of and was not supported or trained up
which led up to the second period of sick leave.
Jessie contacted In Work Support and we discussed her mental health condition
and work situation and how one affects the other.
Jessie completed the return to work plan and negotiated the hours, meetings
with line management, duties and how steadily they increase.
With the job retention worker Jessie worked on her communication techniques,
coping techniques to manage anxiety and how often phone support would happen
with the job retention worker.
This has worked very well, with Jessie pushing herself and taking new steps
each week to build up responsibilities and confidence levels. Jessie is now
very aware of not taking too much on and how to communicate her needs with
management..
