The Challenge Across Sectors

You already know something is not working

These problems appear in every organisation where people carry responsibility for others under sustained pressure. Standard provision was not designed to address them at their root.

The Problem

What It Looks Like for Senior Leaders and HR

High sickness absence

Staff going off with stress, anxiety and burnout, and not returning quickly or at all. Managers do not know what to do. OH referrals create process, but not recovery.

OH referrals that stall

Occupational health clears staff as fit to return, but the underlying trauma, exhaustion or moral injury has not been addressed. Staff go off again within months.

Burnout and presenteeism

Staff who are physically present but disengaged, making errors, and quietly planning to leave. The organisation absorbs the risk. The people they serve feel it too.

Recruitment and retention

Experienced staff are replaced at significant cost, only for the next person to face the same pressures without adequate support. The cycle repeats.

Line managers overwhelmed

Managers are expected to hold distressed team members with no training and no support for themselves. In caring professions, they are often next to go off sick.

No specialist provision

EAP services are generic and short-term. Standard OH focuses on fitness to work, not trauma recovery. Neither is designed for staff in high-demand, people-facing roles.

The gap: no specialist service exists to support staff in people-facing organisations through occupational trauma recovery. Generic EAPs treat the symptom. Standard OH clears people to return. Neither is designed to address occupational trauma at its root. This service is.

Sectors We Work With

Occupational trauma does not stop at sector boundaries

Wherever people carry responsibility for others under sustained pressure, the same patterns emerge. The specific context varies. The human cost is the same.

NHS and Healthcare

Acute, mental health, community and primary care. Hospices and independent healthcare providers.

Social Care

Adult and children's services, safeguarding teams, looked-after children and family support.

Education

Schools, multi-academy trusts, further education colleges and higher education.

Emergency Services

Police, fire service, ambulance and paramedic, coastguard and pre-hospital care.

Charities and Third Sector

Hospices, homelessness, domestic abuse services, housing associations and community organisations.

Public Sector

Local government, arm's-length bodies, justice and probation, and central government.
