Working To Wellbeing (W2W) has promoted Dr Anuska Randolph-Stephens from clinical services lead to clinical director.
In her new role, Randolph-Stephens (pictured) will lead delivery of the firm’s vocational rehabilitation coaching model, stepping up from her previous role to develop clinical strategy and oversee all clinical activities within W2W, including governance. She will be pivotal in supporting W2W to achieve its overriding business goal of being the go-to provider for vocational rehabilitation in the UK.
Randolph-Stephens has extensive experience across clinical, academic and workplace wellbeing settings. With a PhD and MSc in Health Psychology from the University of Surrey, she began her career at The Royal Marsden Hospital in London, before transitioning into research at the University of Cambridge. Her academic work focused on the intersection of physical and mental health and adaptation to illness, laying the foundation for her current focus on supporting individuals living with long-term conditions.
Randolph-Stephens said: “I’m incredibly proud of this promotion. Every day, I see the impact that good vocational rehabilitation can have on people living with cancer and long-term health conditions – not just in helping them return to work, but in restoring confidence, purpose and quality of life. It’s work that I care deeply about, and I feel privileged to be part of an organisation that makes such a meaningful difference.
“I’m truly grateful to the colleagues, mentors and clients who have shaped my journey so far. And I’m excited to step into this role with continued passion and commitment, and to keep building services that genuinely change lives.”
Dr Julie Denning, managing director at W2W, added: “Anuska is an incredibly valued member of our team, having made a big difference to the lives of many clients in her four years with us. Her passion, to enable people to have a better quality of life, including work, and her skill in service development that has a strong evidence base, are second to none and real assets to Working To Wellbeing. She is able to build brilliant relationships and delivers on the values of Working To Wellbeing of authenticity, credibility, professionalism, innovation and sustainability.
“In her new role, I have no doubt Anuska will be instrumental to our continued growth and success, at a time when vocational rehabilitation is gaining the recognition it deserves as a core element in the government’s goals to reduce absence in the UK.”
