A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our CQC Towards Outstanding event this morning.🙌

Working in partnership with Care Research, we welcomed care leaders, managers and staff from across Greater Manchester for a day of learning, discussion and shared best practice.

Attendees had the opportunity to hear from Outstanding-rated providers, explore the latest CQC developments, and gain practical insights to help strengthen quality and prepare for inspections.

It was fantastic to see so much engagement throughout the day, with professionals from across the sector sharing experiences, asking questions and learning from one another.💙

We've spoken to the big bosses, now lets roll on into the afternoon, where we'll be speaking to their staff and giving them the support and information they need to achieve outstanding care.

At Bury Care Academy, we're proud to support the adult social care workforce through training, development opportunities and events just like this that help both individuals and organisations thrive.

Yesterday, the Bury Care Academy team attended the Post-16 and Post-18 Careers Event hosted by Bury Council, speaking with local Year 10 and Year 11 students about the opportunities available in adult social care.🎡

It was great to meet so many young people and have conversations about the different career pathways, qualifications and apprenticeships available within the sector.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand and took part in our Wheel of Knowledge challenge. We hope we helped inspire the next generation to consider a rewarding career in care.

Thank you to Bury Council for organising another fantastic event and bringing together education providers, employers and young people from across the borough.

Hear directly from our LEAD participants💙

We asked members across our LEAD cohorts what they've enjoyed most about the programme, the key lessons they've taken away, and how they're already putting their learning into practice.

From building confidence and developing practical leadership skills, to learning alongside colleagues from across the care sector, it's been great to see the impact the programme is already having.

Take a look through their feedback below.

Looking for a cooking role that's a little different?💙

At Bank House Care Home, you're not cooking for hundreds of customers or working late-night restaurant shifts. Instead, you'll be preparing nutritious, home-cooked meals that help make a real difference to the lives of older people in your local community.

For many residents, mealtimes are one of the highlights of their day. We're looking for someone who takes pride in creating good food, understands the importance of dietary requirements, and wants to work in a role where their contribution is genuinely valued.

Bury
£13.50 per hour
30 hours per week
3 days per week (7am-5pm shifts)
