Work for the Borough of Opportunity

Work for the Borough of Opportunity

Bury, Prestwich, Radcliffe, Ramsbottom, Tottington and Whitefield

Bury’s towns and communities are benefiting from the largest investment in a generation. 

The projects are creating new retail opportunities, employment and skills, leisure facilities, improved public realm and new housing – much of it on brownfield land.

“Bury let’s do it”

Bury Council is dedicated to exemplifying good employer practices and fostering inclusivity through our "Bury Let’s Do It" strategy. Our commitment extends to nurturing a diverse workforce that mirrors the communities we serve. Collaborating with employee groups like Black and Minority Ethnic, disabled, and LGBT+ individuals, we continually refine our inclusive policies and practices. 

Upholding high standards in work security, flexibility, Real Living Wage, employee engagement, recruitment, management, and health, we prioritise the well-being and development of our workforce, offering various skill-building opportunities for advancement. 

Where possible, we will support employees to work flexibly or with adjustments, so that they can perform to their best ability. We are committed to providing a working environment where all employees are treated with dignity and respect, and where individual skills and life experiences are valued.
