Welcome
We are committed
A healthy and happy workforce is a productive workforce. As occupational health and vocational specialists, we are committed to supporting employers and employees to have a positive and thriving workplace. We strongly believe that if you look after your employees, they will look after your customers.
​​
We are bespoke
Unlike many traditional occupational health providers who carry out telephone assessments, we feel that to truly understand the demands of a job role you need to observe the person in that job. Therefore, most of our assessments are on site at the workplace. We offer a range of bespoke assessments as well as training packages.
​
We are fractional
Because there is no contractual requirement, you just pay for the service as needed.
​
We are specialists
We have extensive knowledge and experience in this area. We also work with case managers, solicitors and employers to provide vocational rehabilitation programmes.
​
We are regional
We cover Yorkshire and surrounding areas however if you are outside of this area and the assessment could potentially be completed remotely then do get in touch to discuss.

About us:
Emma Taylor
lead therapist
I qualified as an occupational therapist in 1994 and became interested in workplace health and wellbeing following the completion of an MSc in Health Ergonomics. I was the course leader for the MSc in Vocational Rehabilitation at Sheffield Hallam University which combined the evidence base and theoretical underpinning with the practical application in my practice. I am passionate about healthy workplaces and supporting people into, and keeping them in, work. Being an occupational therapist I take a unique approach, looking beyond the person's diagnosis. Analysing the job role and the work environment provides a key part of the assessment to help understand the obstacles a person may be experiencing. I love that every workplace I visit is different which is what makes my job so rewarding and interesting! I have many years of experience teaching on the subject and provide a range of training packages for employees, insurers, occupational therapists and anyone else who would like to understand more about this area
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Employer
"The assessment was so helpful. It was objective and fair and whilst supporting [the employee] it also really helped me as HR manager understand the health condition and what we can do to help [the employee] return to work, and more importantly stay in work as we need people with his specialist skills."
Case Manager
"[Client] was really finding it hard to see that she could not return to the job she was doing before the accident. With your support and encouragement she slowly recognised her limitations and became much more accepting of a new way forward to a vocational role that was much more suitable for her. She was guided through the whole experience and has now built up new skills, and is working part time in a job she is really enjoying!"
Employee
"Thank you for being so kind. I was so concerned about how I was going to manage at work but with your support and guidance I feel much happier about the plan in place. You seemed to really understand my perspective and what I was struggling with."
