What’s different about working in Oldham:
Being home to some of the most diverse communities of any local authority in the country is one of Oldham’s greatest strengths and will give you the opportunity to use your breadth of skills.
The life experiences and challenges facing our children and families are incredibly varied and require an inclusive response to recognising their unique strengths and supporting them.
We continue to embed systemic practice as our practice model with a focus on building relationships with children and families, understanding context and family dynamics, and reflectively learning together. 2024 sees the launch of our new systemic reflective hubs, and our fantastic Social Work Academy continue to offer reflective supervisions and tailored support through an innovative ASYE programme, including a second supported year in employment.
